Audio By Carbonatix

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has taken custody of 37 sacks of substances suspected to be cannabis, following a successful maritime operation by the Ghana Navy’s Special Boat Squadron.

The interception took place on Friday, March 27, at Goi, near Ada in the Greater Accra Region, as part of ongoing efforts to curb drug trafficking along Ghana’s coast.

Preliminary checks by NACOC suggest each sack contains about 70 parcels of the suspected substance, indicating a large quantity likely meant for distribution.

The team also recovered items believed to have been used in the operation, including an outboard motor, two gallons of premix fuel, and five empty containers.

The seized canoe and all items have been handed over to NACOC for further investigation and possible prosecution.

NACOC says it has begun investigations to identify and arrest those behind the smuggling attempt, as surveillance and enforcement activities in the area are stepped up.
