The Narcotics Control Commission in the Ashanti Region has educated commercial motorbike and tricycle riders. They learned about the dangers and legal consequences of transporting illegal drugs.
The education campaign took place at the Kumasi Central Mosque. It was part of activities for the 2026 World Drug Day.
Named officials from NACOC led the session. They explained how drug trafficking affects communities and individuals.
Riders were warned that participating in drug transport can lead to severe penalties, including long prison sentences.
The commission stressed that ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
NACOC urged the riders to report any suspicious activities they witness to the authorities.
This initiative aims to prevent the use of their transport services for illegal drug trade.
The campaign seeks to build a safer community by involving transport operators in crime prevention efforts.
