The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested a delivery driver following the interception of a package suspected to contain cocaine at the Accra International Airport.
The arrest was made as part of investigations into the circumstances surrounding the package and how it was brought into the airport.
Investigators are also working to determine whether other people were involved in the movement of the suspected narcotics.
The suspect is currently in NACOC custody while officials continue with their investigations. Authorities are seeking to establish the source of the package, its intended destination and the role of the driver in the suspected drug operation.
Investigators are also examining whether the incident could be connected to a larger network involved in the transportation and distribution of illegal drugs.
NACOC has not yet disclosed the quantity of the substance intercepted. Samples are expected to undergo laboratory testing to confirm whether the material is cocaine and determine its exact composition.
The latest arrest forms part of ongoing efforts by NACOC and other security agencies to prevent Ghana from being used as a route for the movement of illegal drugs.
Drug trafficking remains a major concern for law enforcement agencies, particularly at major entry and exit points such as airports, where authorities continue to strengthen surveillance and screening measures.
NACOC has not indicated whether additional arrests have been made, but investigators are expected to pursue any leads that could help identify other individuals connected to the suspected consignment.
Authorities have urged the public to provide relevant information that could assist in efforts to combat drug trafficking and protect communities from the effects of illicit drugs.
