Pinned summary · as of

Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) alleged that the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has put out a notice naming Frank Danquah, born on 11 September 1978, as a wanted man in connection with suspected drug-related offences. It is asking anyone who knows where he is to come forward.

What we know

  • NACOC named Frank Danquah as wanted over suspected narcotics-related offences and gave his date of birth as 11 September 1978.
  • The commission asked the public for information on his whereabouts and listed the toll-free line 0800 307 307 for tips.
  • NACOC added that nobody is treated as guilty until a court has ruled against them.

What's disputed / unconfirmed

  • Reports spell the name differently: Rainbow Radio Online wrote Danquah Frank, while Nkonkonsa and The Press Radio wrote Frank Danquah.
  • Nkonkonsa and The Press Radio said the notice was issued on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, and that it did not specify which offences he is sought over. This has not been reported by other sources.
  • Nkonkonsa and The Press Radio cited NACOC's wanted-persons records, which say people can be sought under the 2020 law that governs the commission (Act 1019) over alleged possession, control or trafficking-related business in narcotics. Neither report says which of these applies to Mr Danquah.
  • The Press Radio gave his age as 48 and reported that NACOC has not linked him to other high-profile narcotics investigations in Ghana; it also said tips are treated confidentially. None of this has been confirmed by other reports.
  • Opemsuo 104.7 said NACOC described the suspect as currently on the run; this has not been confirmed by other reports.

Why it matters for Ghana

A wanted notice from the drug-control body invites ordinary Ghanaians to help trace a person, and the free hotline gives residents a direct way to pass on tips without approaching anyone themselves. The notice also shows how the presumption of innocence applies even when a person is publicly sought: being listed is not a finding of guilt.
