The suspects one Jennifer, 18 and Ruth Ali, 19, admitted to the offence upon interrogation by the police.

The exhibit have also been labeled and kept in the custody of the police pending further investigations.

Chief Inspector Augustine Kingsely Oppong, BA Regional police spokesman, told DAILY GUIDE that the women would be charged with possession of narcotics without lawful authority and arraigned before court.
