NACOC demands tighter port controls to prevent Tema Harbour drug trafficking

Major-General Mantey acknowledged the role of MPS as a private-sector partner in port operations but stressed that commercial considerations should not override national security and Ghana’s international reputation.

Major-General Mantey stressed that no container should leave the port without the required clearance and authorisation from NACOC and other relevant security agencies.

He said there must be closer collaboration and information-sharing among the various agencies responsible for port security, particularly amid growing concerns over narcotic consignments linked to Ghana.
