The alleged kingpin linked to the attempted export of about 320 kilograms of methamphetamine from Ghana to Australia has been arrested, according to NACOC.
“With regard to the recent case in which Australian authorities intercepted about 320 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed in a shipment from Ghana, we have successfully arrested the lead person and are looking forward to arresting the remaining persons involved,” Deputy Director-General Alexander Twum-Barimah told Adom News.
The Commission said investigations remain ongoing as efforts continue to identify and arrest other suspects connected to the case.
Separately, NACOC disclosed that it has destroyed narcotics and related products valued at more than GH¢37 million after court approval and verification by the Ghana Standards Authority.
