The National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in a swift follow-up to their recent successful operations in the Volta Region has intercepted a massive consignment of cannabis in the same region.
Credible information intercepted by The Chronicle indicates that in the early hours of Thursday May 29, 2025 the operatives swooped on Zadolakope, a riverside community in the North Tongu District, seizing 3,680 slabs of well packaged cannabis.
Intelligence source at the NIB Headquarters in Accra, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the story to the paper.
The source stated that their men, following a tip-off, kept vigilance in the Juapong-Adidome enclave, where the contraband items were expected to travel through.
The suspected cannabis, in 49 (forty-nine) bags, each containing 80 (eighty) slabs, were traced to the banks of a river, which their intelligence indicates would be transported on the lower Volta, first to transit at Ada, before finally landing in the national capital, Accra.
The daring operation, according to the elated official, underscores the NIB’s commitment to combating illicit activities and protecting the nation’s security. He added that, the seizure is a significant blow to narcotics traffickers in the region.
The latest arrest reinforces the NIB’s reputation as a formidable force against illicit activities, be it cocoa smuggling or drug trafficking, emphasising the need for those aiding these nefarious deeds to desist, for they remain on the NIB’s radar.
Meanwhile, reliable information gathered by The Chronicle reveals that the consignment has been handed over to the Narcotics Control Commission in Ho pending further action.
