The Narcotics Control Commission has taken custody of 37 sacks of substances suspected to be cannabis following a successful maritime operation by the Ghana Navy.
The interception was carried out on Friday, March 27, at Goi as part of intensified efforts to combat drug trafficking along Ghana’s coastline.
Preliminary assessments by NACOC indicate that each sack contains approximately 70 parcels of the suspected substance, suggesting a significant quantity likely intended for distribution.
In addition to the drugs, the operation led to the recovery of several items believed to have been used in the smuggling activity, including an outboard motor, two gallons of premix fuel and five empty containers.
Authorities also impounded the canoe used in the operation, with all seized items handed over to NACOC for further investigation and potential prosecution.
The Commission says investigations are underway to identify and apprehend those behind the attempted smuggling, as surveillance and enforcement operations in the area are being intensified.
