Two senior officials at the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority GPHA have been interdicted. This means they are temporarily removed from their jobs while an investigation takes place.
The officials are accused of allegedly being involved in smuggling goods. This means they might have allowed items to enter or leave the port without proper checks or payment of duties.
The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority confirmed the interdiction. They stated that the officials will remain suspended until the ongoing investigations are completed.
The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority is responsible for managing Ghana's ports and ensuring the smooth and legal flow of cargo.
No specific details about the type of goods or the value of the alleged smuggled items have been released by the authority.
This action shows that authorities are serious about tackling corruption and illegal activities within port operations.
Further information will be made available once the investigation by the relevant authorities is concluded.
The public is advised to wait for the official findings before drawing conclusions.
