Four people have been caught and released on bail in relation to the significant drug bust in Cape Coast earlier this year, while two other suspects are still at large, according to Interior Minister Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak.
About 3.3 tonnes of cocaine were seized by National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) agents in March 2025 after they intercepted a large shipment of the illegal narcotic.
A tipper truck was intercepted at Pedu Junction in Cape Coast as a result of the intelligence-based operation.
Officers found 143 bags of cocaine hidden under sand when they inspected the area.
The Interior Minister reassured legislators during a July 9, 2025, briefing that the administration is still dedicated to combating drug trafficking.
“It has to be mentioned that apart from the driver and his assistant, four other individuals were subsequently arrested and granted bail,” he said.
“Two prime suspects are, however, at large. Efforts are ongoing to arrest them. The next court hearing of the matter is scheduled to take place on July 24, 2025,” he reiterated.
