Forty kilograms of suspected cocaine, traced back to Ghana and seized in Lebanon, has set off a serious manhunt at home. The Narcotics Control Commission, known as NACOC, is now moving aggressively to identify and arrest the Ghanaian individuals believed to be connected to the network behind the shipment.
The case was triggered by the arrest of a Syrian national in Lebanon who was found in possession of the drugs. Investigators say the cocaine originated in Ghana, pointing to local links that NACOC is determined to expose and shut down.
The commission's intensified pursuit signals a wider effort to dismantle what appears to be an international drug trafficking operation with roots in Ghanaian territory. How deep those roots go is exactly what investigators are racing to find out.
