Customs officials, assisted by the police, have stopped a large number of goods that did not go through the proper channels at the Aflao border. These goods are believed to have been brought into the country illegally.
The operation took place on June 17, 2026. It highlights ongoing efforts to control smuggling.
Authorities are investigating the origin and intended destination of the seized items. No arrests have been confirmed in this specific operation.
The goods were found during a routine inspection and intelligence-led operation. This seizure prevents potential revenue loss to the state.
Smuggled goods can undermine local businesses and pose risks to consumers if they do not meet safety standards.
The Ghana Revenue Authority works with law enforcement to prevent such activities.
