Armed officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, alongside the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), have overseen the destruction of a significant haul of illicit drugs at Osu Beach in Accra.
The operation, conducted under the supervision of the Accra Circuit Court, saw 242 sacks of marijuana, 16 kilograms of cocaine, and buckets of heroin set ablaze as part of ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and usage in Ghana.
The narcotics, seized during operations on the high seas, were ordered to be destroyed by the Accra Circuit Court.
The Registrar of the Circuit Court, Mr. Prosper Kingsley Damankah, supervised the exercise, ensuring the substances were properly disposed of in a bid to dismantle the networks involved in the illicit drug trade.
In addition to the sacks of compressed marijuana, the incinerated items included buckets, boxes, and bottles filled with cocaine.
This action marks a significant step in Ghana’s broader strategy to curb the production, sale, and consumption of narcotic substances within the country.
