A High Court has handed down a five-year prison sentence to two Ghanaian men.
The two were found guilty of attempting to smuggle unrefined gold out of Ghana.
Their arrest occurred at Kotoka International Airport.
Court filings indicate they were attempting to export the gold illegally.
The judiciary has determined the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crime.
This action highlights the ongoing efforts to combat illegal gold exports.
Such smuggling activities deprive the nation of valuable resources.
