In a major drug bust at Tema Port, Ghanaian police seized 866 parcels of suspected cocaine concealed in sacks of gari, a popular West African food staple. The operation, conducted at approximately 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, led to the arrest of three suspects: a Dutch national and two Ghanaians. According to Graphic Online, the suspects were apprehended while allegedly supervising the loading of gari and konkonte sacks into a 40-foot container for export at a warehouse within the port enclave. The seizure was the result of an intelligence-led operation that allowed police to intercept the suspected narcotics before the container could leave the country.
