Juaso (Ash), Jan 22, – The Juaso
Circuit Court, presided over by Mr. Yusif Assibey, has ordered a 56-year farmer
caught with large quantity of dried leaves suspected to be marijuana, to be
held in remand prison.
Yaw Antwi has been charged with
possessing narcotic drug without lawful authority and he pleaded not guilty.
He would be making his next
appearance on Wednesday, January 31.
Police Detective Sergeant
Princeton Peasah Darkwa told the court that the accused was seized together
with the psychoactive drug on January 07, at about 2000 hours, at Kurofa in the

that he was engaged in drug peddling and moved in to arrest him.
