A Koforidua High Court has handed down a five-year jail sentence to a 40-year-old man. He will serve this time with hard labour.
The man was found guilty of possessing narcotic drugs. He was caught transporting 50 kilograms of dried leaves. These leaves were suspected to be cannabis.
The court made its decision after reviewing the evidence presented. The conviction was based on the man's involvement in the drug trade.
Drug trafficking is a serious crime that harms communities. The sentence reflects the severity of the offense and the amount of drugs involved.
