Information gathered by The Finder indicated that the suspects, who were sent by one accomplice (name withheld), bought the substance at GH�17.5 million from a village called Aboa, where Philip hails from.
The unidentified accomplice, who is on the run, went to Aboa with Philip and Alex, but left for Accra; leaving his companions to transport the substance to Accra.
A source told The Finder that the owner of the taxi had earlier reported to the Teshie Police that Philip had not returned his taxi as expected.
