NACOC seizes 37 sacks of suspected cannabis after navy interception near Ada
The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has taken custody of 37 sacks of substances suspected to be cannabis following a maritime interdiction by the Ghana Navy.
The operation was carried out on Friday, March 27, at Goi, near Ada in the Greater Accra Region, as part of ongoing efforts to clamp down on drug trafficking along Ghana’s coastal corridors.
In a statement posted on the Commission’s Facebook page, NACOC said preliminary examination indicates that each sack contains an estimated 70 parcels of the suspected cannabis, pointing to a significant quantity likely intended for distribution.
In addition to the sacks, the joint team recovered other items believed to have supported the smuggling operation, including two gallons of premix fuel, five empty gallons, and an outboard motor.
The seized canoe and all related exhibits have since been officially handed over to NACOC, which has taken custody of the items for further investigations and possible prosecution.
NACOC says it has commenced investigations to identify and apprehend individuals connected to the smuggling attempt, as authorities intensify surveillance and enforcement along the country’s coastline.
