Ghanaian and Lebanese drug enforcement authorities worked together to arrest a Syrian national at Beirut International Airport after he arrived from Accra with approximately 40 kilograms of suspected cocaine.
The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) said the arrest on Saturday, October 31, 2026, followed a coordinated controlled delivery operation involving law enforcement agencies in both countries.
According to the Commission, the joint exercise was designed to identify and apprehend suspects at both ends of the drug supply chain while gathering intelligence to dismantle the transnational criminal network behind the shipment.
