Three persons have been arrested for allegedly smoking �Indian hemp� at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regional congress in Tamale. They were picked by the security at the congress grounds. Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh confirmed this to Citi News. He said they were whisked to the Regional Police command following pressure on the security to release them.
