The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has reportedly seized a 40-foot container filled with pharmaceutical opioids at the Tema Port that was destined for Niger.

According to a report by graphic.com.gh, the consignment, lacking proper labeling, did not include the details of the manufacturer, except for a "Made in India" inscription on the strips.

Further details from the report indicate that the consignment had not been properly declared to customs, an act that constitutes a customs offense, thus warranting the seizure.

The container, upon inspection, was found to contain Tapentadol 120mg, 40 cartons of Diazole Loperamide 3mg, and 190 cartons of Chlorpheniramine Maleate, along with 320 cartons of other pharmaceuticals.
