A court-ordered test has confirmed that over 3.3 tonnes of substances intercepted by Ghana's National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in March 2025 is cocaine-marking the biggest drug seizure in the country's history.
The drugs, with an estimated street value of $350 million, were hidden in sacks and bags, cleverly concealed beneath heaps of sand in a tipper truck en route to Accra.
The truck was stopped at Pedu Junction in Cape Coast following a tip-off.
Personnel from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) conducted a cobalt thiocyanate test on Wednesday, June 4, taking random samples from three of the 2,970 slabs.
