At Liero, a town near Fielmuo and the border with Burkina Faso, a team of Immigration officers and Ghana Police Service officers stopped 981 sacks of a compressed substance that they think is marijuana.
The Ghana Immigration Service said in a statement that a patrol team raided the house of a man (name withheld) in Liero. The raid was based on information, and most of the rooms were filled with sacks of what is thought to be marijuana.
The statement also said that 981 packages of suspected drugs were found and sent to the Hamile Border Post for further investigation and action. This was done by a group of people who were determined and helped by other people.
“The respective state security agencies would be invited to analyse the exhibits to ascertain the veracity of our deep suspicion about what the substance actually is.
“In the meantime, frantic efforts are being made to apprehend persons connected to the ceased substance to aid in the investigation and appropriate action.”
The Hamile Border Post Commander, Chief Supt. Owusu Ansah thanked the locals who provided the tip leading to the seizure.
“Whereas we appreciate the impeccable rapport with the locals, we wish to respectfully inform the few unrepentant ones not to stand in our way. They must either change or we change them, the middle ground is not an option.”
