The seizure happened on May 13, 2026. This action was taken by officers working at the border post.
The rice has been taken by the authorities. It will be held while the investigation takes place. The total value of the seized rice is not yet known.
This operation is part of ongoing efforts to stop the smuggling of goods into Ghana. Such activities undermine legitimate trade and can affect local industries.
