The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has seized a substantial consignment of suspected cannabis after it was intercepted by the Ghana Navy along the country’s coastline.
The operation, conducted by the Navy’s Special Boat Squadron on Friday, March 27, took place at Goi near Ada as part of ongoing efforts to combat maritime drug trafficking.
Authorities report that 37 sacks were confiscated, with preliminary assessments suggesting each sack contained around 70 parcels of the suspected substance, indicating a significant haul likely intended for distribution.
Alongside the suspected drugs, the team recovered several items linked to the operation, including an outboard motor, two gallons of premix fuel, and five empty containers.
The canoe used in the suspected smuggling attempt, together with all recovered items, has been handed over to NACOC to support further investigations and potential prosecution.
The Commission confirmed that efforts are ongoing to apprehend those responsible, with intensified surveillance and enforcement activities in the area.
