The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has delivered a significant blow to international drug trafficking networks with the seizure of 738 compressed parcels of suspected cannabis at the Swissport Terminal in Accra on July 5.
The substantial illicit consignment, meticulously hidden within 40 boxes falsely labelled as "assorted food items", was on its way to the United Kingdom, highlighting the country's persistent challenge as a transit point for illicit drugs bound for European markets.
This latest interception follows weeks of intensive intelligence gathering and surveillance by NACOC officials, a testament to their continuous efforts in disrupting sophisticated drug operations.
Two individuals have been apprehended in connection with the Swissport seizure and are currently assisting with investigations.
