Background
In March 2025, operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) intercepted a massive cocaine consignment, seizing approximately 3.3 tonnes of the illegal drug.
The operation, based on intelligence, led to the interception of a tipper truck at Pedu Junction in Cape Coast. Upon inspection, officers discovered 143 sacks of cocaine concealed beneath sand.
