Police in Ghana nabbed a 38-year-old Nigerian national who
attempted to smuggle 154 parcels of compressed dried
leaves suspected to be Indian hemp to Nigeria. The suspect,
Orjii Ogbonanya, from Abia State, is said to have concealed
the suspected narcotic in bales of used clothes.
Briefing journalists in Accra, the Public Relations Officer of
the Accra Regional Police Command, Assistant
Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mrs Effia Tenge, said the
police had a tip-off about some people trying to smuggle
Indian hemp to Nigeria and proceeded to the scene at
Darkuman junction in Accra.
She said when the police arrived at the warehouse, they saw
a number of bags containing used clothes. The officers then
confiscated the bags and took them to the police station and
when they were opened, the suspected narcotic was found.
According to Mrs Tenge, the police counted 154 parcels of
compressed dried leaves concealed in second-hand clothing
which was packed in "Ghana must go" bags.
Upon interrogation, Ogbananya allegedly admitted the offence
and told the police that the parcels belonged to a man he
named only as Goodman, who is currently on the run.
