In a coordinated effort overseen by the Accra Circuit Court and the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), armed officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service have destroyed a large quantity of illicit drugs. The seized items included 242 sacks of marijuana, 16 kilograms of cocaine, and several buckets of heroin, marking a significant action against drug trafficking and usage in Ghana.

This destruction forms part of a broader strategy by law enforcement to disrupt the networks involved in the illegal drug trade across the country.

A Joy News reporter, Latif Iddrisu, who covered the event at Osu Beach in Accra, reported that the incineration followed a court order. The narcotics had been confiscated from high-seas operations and comprised not only the marijuana but also various packages of cocaine.
