Cannabis traffickers using ambulances and bullion vans – Interior Minister

The Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has alleged that suspected cannabis traffickers are using ambulances and bullion vans to transport the substance as the government intensifies efforts to combat illegal cultivation and drug trafficking.

Mr Muntaka further alleged that bullion vans used to transport money for the Bank of Ghana were also being used to move cannabis.

Mr Muntaka said the government was responding through the destruction of cannabis farms, arrests and intelligence-led operations to identify and apprehend those involved in the illegal trade.
