The Narcotics Control Commission (NARCOC) on Monday took possession of a massive consignment of cannabis valued at GHC2million (Two Million Ghana Cedis) from the custody of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in Ho.

The cannabis, comprising 3,680 (Three Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty) slabs in 49 (Forty-Nine) bags have since been evacuated to the NARCOC Headquarters in Accra, amid heavy escort.

The substance was seized by NIB operatives exactly a week ago, Thursday May 29, 2025 at Zadolakope, a riverside community in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.

According to The Chronicle’s dependable source at NARCOC, each slab has a street value of GHC300 (Three Hundred Ghana Cedis) in Ho and GHC500 (Five Hundred Ghana Cedis) in Accra.

The source continued that the NARCOC officials, before taking custody of the substance, conducted on the spot test which confirmed to be cannabis.

The Commission’s prompt response ensured the illicit substance is removed from circulation, protecting communities from its harmful effects.

The seizure, the official source went on, underscores the ongoing efforts to combat narcotics trafficking in not only the region but the entire country.

He named Kpandu Anfoega, Golokwati, Wegbe, Adidome and Dzemeni as some of the areas in the Volta Region, where the cultivation of cannabis is prevalent.

In the Eastern Region, Huhunya, Asesewa, Boso and Afram Plains also feature as hot beds.
