The Director in Charge of Special Operations at National Security, Richard Jakpa, has revealed details about a massive stash of counterfeit US dollars, Ghanaian cedi notes, and suspected gold bars hidden in 12 shipping containers intercepted at a warehouse in Sapeiman, Accra.
Speaking in a video shared by Accra-based Radio Gold, the National Security Director stated that the containers had not yet been fully opened, as investigations are still ongoing to identify the individuals responsible for the items.
He disclosed that the boxes found inside the containers are the same type used by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) to import cash into the country, raising concerns about how such boxes, allegedly belonging to the central bank, ended up in the possession of private individuals. "These are all Bank of Ghana boxes.
This is what they use to import our currency… We want the kingpins themselves to be present before we open them.
