Drug busters caught crooks red-handed at Ghana's main airport last Friday. The Narcotics Control Commission found 738 blocks of weed stuffed inside 40 boxes marked as regular food. These sneaky dealers planned to ship the drugs straight to Britain. Airport workers at Swissport Terminal had no clue what was really inside those innocent-looking packages. The bust happened after weeks of secret watching and detective work.
Police grabbed two suspects but two others got away. Lincoln Nii Okaija and Kate Davidson are still running free from the law. Cops want anyone with tips about these fugitives to speak up fast. Davidson goes by the street name Esi and authorities really want to catch her. Both suspects face serious jail time if they get caught.
Ghana has become a major stopping point for drug dealers heading to Europe. Last year alone, officers seized almost 60,000 kilograms of illegal drugs across the country. That number jumped four times higher than what they caught the year before. Cannabis makes up most of the drugs that get intercepted at borders and airports. The problem keeps getting worse each year.
Just two weeks earlier, drug agents raided the Eastern Region and arrested 14 people. They also shut down three shops that were selling dangerous pills without proper licenses. Anyone caught dealing drugs faces at least 10 years behind bars. Officials want regular citizens to report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.
