An Accra High Court has handed down a 15-year prison sentence to two individuals. The sentence was given after they were found guilty of attempting to traffic narcotics.
The court heard that the two persons attempted to traffic 10.5 kilograms of narcotics. This significant amount of illicit substance formed the basis of the charges against them.
Following a thorough trial process, the court reached its verdict. Both defendants were convicted of the charges brought against them by the prosecution.
The Judicial Service confirmed the sentencing. This action underscores the legal consequences for engaging in drug trafficking activities within the country.
The conviction and sentencing aim to deter others from participating in similar criminal acts. The Ghanaian justice system continues to address drug-related offenses with firm legal measures.
