Police discovered about 48,000 liters of diesel fuel hidden near the Aflao border. This fuel was believed to be smuggled into the country.
The Ghana Revenue Authority worked with the police on this operation. They were alerted to suspicious transport activities.
Officers intercepted the diesel. It was being moved in a manner that suggested it had not paid proper taxes.
Authorities seized the entire consignment. This action was taken to prevent the illegal sale and distribution of the fuel.
The Aflao border is a common entry point for goods. Officials are working to stop illicit trade.
Smuggled fuel can harm legitimate businesses. It also means the country loses out on tax revenue.
Further investigations are expected. Officials will try to find out who was behind the smuggling attempt.
This seizure is part of ongoing efforts to enforce trade laws and combat smuggling activities.
