The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has intercepted smuggling of suspected cannabis at the Swissport Terminal in Accra.
The seizure, made on Friday, July 5, involved 738 compressed parcels of suspected cannabis concealed in 40 boxes falsely labelled as "assorted food items." The illicit consignment was bound for the United Kingdom, underscoring Ghana's ongoing struggle with being used as a transit point for narcotics headed to European markets.
NACOC's operation followed weeks of targeted intelligence gathering and surveillance.
Two individuals have since been arrested and are assisting with investigations.
