Six people have been remanded in custody by a court in Accra. They are facing charges related to a large shipment of suspected cocaine.
The suspected drugs, weighing nearly four tonnes, were reportedly sent from Tema Port. The destination was France.
The accused appeared before the Kwabenya Circuit Court on Thursday, September 17, 2026. The court denied their request for bail.
Those remanded include Francis Narh Amanor, Frank Adu-Boahen, Togbe Agbeti, Andrews Tetteh Amponsah, and Daniel Laryea. Information on the sixth individual was not fully detailed.
This seizure is part of a larger international effort to intercept illegal drugs. Authorities are investigating the full extent of the network involved.
The court has set a future date for further proceedings. The investigation into the drug shipment is ongoing.
