The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has launched a full-scale investigation following reports from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) regarding a major drug bust tied to Ghana.
According to an official statement issued by the Commission, Australian authorities intercepted approximately 320 kilograms of methamphetamine.
The illicit substances were expertly concealed within a commercial consignment declared as charcoal, which had been shipped from Ghana to Australia.
In response to the development, NACOC is collaborating closely with domestic security intelligence agencies and international law enforcement partners.
The joint effort aims to trace the shipment’s origins, map out the trafficking network, and apprehend all individuals involved in the operation.
Signed by the Acting Director of Public Affairs and International Relations, PNCO Francis Opoku Amoah, the Commission reaffirmed its strict stance against narcotics trafficking.
