Two people have been arrested for allegedly smuggling 100 kilograms of marijuana into Ghana. The Ghana Revenue Authority made the arrest.
The suspects were apprehended by the Enforcement Command of the Ghana Revenue Authority. This unit works to prevent illegal imports and exports.
The drugs were reportedly brought into Ghana from the neighboring country of Togo. The exact border crossing is part of the ongoing investigation.
Officials said the seized substance consists of dried leaves believed to be marijuana. It weighed approximately 100 kilograms.
The Ghana Revenue Authority stated that the operation was part of efforts to curb smuggling activities. This is a common method used to bring illegal substances into the country.
Further investigations are underway to determine the full details of the smuggling operation. Authorities aim to identify any accomplices and establish the intended destination of the drugs.
This incident highlights the continuous challenges faced by law enforcement in controlling the flow of illicit goods across Ghana's borders.
The legal proceedings against the two arrested individuals will follow their initial detention and questioning.
