Graphic Online's article is stamped 31 October 2026 and says "According to a NACOC statement issued on October 31". It does not say when the operation took place, so the item uses the day of the statement.

Place

All three outlets write "Nadowli District". The wiki's title for the district is Nadowli-Kaleo. Graphic Online and MyJoyOnline name Siiru in their first paragraph, and Modern Ghana writes that the exercise was "conducted at identified locations in the district" before naming "several cannabis plantations at Siiru". Wikidata has an entry called Siiru Dam (Q140192807) in Wa West District, which is a dam and not the community.

Source discrepancies

Graphic Online writes "cannabis gardens", MyJoyOnline writes "cannabis farms" and Modern Ghana writes "cannabis plantations". None of them gives a figure.

Map pin

Wikidata has no entry for the community of Siiru. The pin is Wikidata's point for Nadowli (Q6957956), the capital of Nadowli-Kaleo District (Q1315544), as an administrative seat. It does not mark the gardens.
