NACOC Intercepts Cannabis At Kotoka Aviance Cargo Section

In two separate incidents at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Thursday, cannabis was discovered by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC).

According to a scanty statement released by the Commission, the first drug identified as KUSH- a cannabis prepared with precursors- was found concealed in packages of cereals from the United States of America (USA) into the country.

The products weighing 6.0kg were intercepted by officers detailed at the Aviance Cargo section, the commission said.

The officers, however, failed to arrest the owners per the press statement.

The second cannabis weighed 0.96kg and was discovered in the same section, however, en route to the United Kingdom (UK).

These were concealed in herbal tonic bottles. It is not known if an arrest was made in this regard.
