A huge consignment of cocaine, totaling 3.3 tonnes, has been intercepted by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) while being transported from the Western Region to Accra.
During the operation at Pedu Junction in Cape Coast on March 4, 2025, authorities discovered 143 bags of cocaine hidden under sand in a tipper truck traveling from Takoradi to Weija in Accra.
The truck, carrying two individuals, was intercepted following intelligence-gathering operations by the NIB.
Field testing by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) confirmed the substance as raw cocaine.
