Operatives of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) have arrested a senior manufacturing company manager over alleged cocaine smuggling at Kotoka Airport.
The suspect, whose identity has not yet been officially disclosed, is accused of concealing cocaine inside a consignment of packaged gari intended for export.
The arrest was made at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) following what authorities describe as an intelligence-led operation.
Sources at the airport indicate that the suspect is believed to be in charge of production at the manufacturing company linked to the shipment. Security officials reportedly intercepted the consignment after receiving intelligence about possible drug trafficking activity.
Authorities say investigations are ongoing to determine the full circumstances surrounding the attempted smuggling operation. NACOC is also working to establish whether the suspect is part of a larger drug trafficking network.
The latest arrest forms part of efforts by Ghanaian authorities to clamp down on narcotics trafficking through the country’s major entry and exit points.
