The prosecution stated that the complainants were personnel from the Police Headquarters National Operations Directorate, Surveillance Unit, in Accra. On May 29, 2024, they received a distress call reporting that a group of young men, suspected to be drug peddlers, had assembled at Nyamekye near Atala Company Limited and were causing a disturbance. In response, two teams from the Surveillance Unit, supported by a standby team, went to the location.
