The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) of Ghana has intercepted 100kg of substances believed to be cocaine at the Tema Port.

A 40-foot container of rice and sugar concealing a package of powder suspected to be cocaine was seized at Tema Port by NACOC operatives.

The container was one of over 50 consigned to Taj, a company that imports sugar and rice in large quantities to Ghana. The consignment was assigned to Global Cargo and Commodities Ltd, a local clearing agent of shipments to Ghana.
