An Accra High Court has sentenced a Nigerian man to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour. The sentence follows his conviction for dealing in narcotic drugs.
The convict was apprehended by authorities at Kotoka International Airport. Officers found him in possession of a significant quantity of illicit substances.
The court found the evidence presented sufficient to establish guilt in the drug trafficking case.
This action was taken by the judicial authorities to deter further drug-related crimes in the country.
The sentence highlights the seriousness with which Ghana treats drug offenses.
