The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested British who attempted to travel out of the country with cannabis.
The passenger, whose name was given as the Naomi Mbelu, was nabbed by
NACOC at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) with a bag of cannabis on March 22, at about 12:20PM.
Officials say she arrived from Addis Ababa with Ethiopia Airline 921, but started her journey from Bangkok, Thailand.
After she was stopped and screened upon arrival at KIA, she was in possession of 41 substances sealed in black polythene bags, NACOC officials stated.
The substance, according to sources, tested positive for cannabis.
The 41 sealed substances had a total weight of 21.38kg.
Two other suspects linked to Naomi Mbelu were arrested. The first is Joseph Asoa, a man who arranged for visa on arrival for her, and was assisting her out of the arrival hall.
The other suspect, Isaac Anum Sowah, was the driver who arrived to pick her up.
All the suspects have been detained by NACOC, and the drugs have been seized for further investigations.
