BNI Intercepted Cannabis at Zadolakope in North Tongu District of Volta Region
The National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), in a swift follow-up to their recent successful operation in the Volta Region, has intercepted a massive consignment of cannabis.
The Chronicle’s signals picked up information that, in the early hours of Thursday, May 29, 2025, the operatives swooped on Zadolakope, a riverside community in the North Tongu District, seizing 3,680 slabs of well-packaged cannabis.
An intelligence source at the NIB HQ in Accra, who prefers to remain anonymous, confirmed the story to the paper.
The source states that their men, following a tip-off, kept vigilance in the Juapong-Adidome enclave where the contraband items were expected to travel.
Truly, the stuff, in 49 (forty-nine) bags, each containing 80 (eighty) slabs, were traced to the banks of the river, which their intelligence indicates would be transported on the lower Volta first to transit at Ada before finally landing in the national capital, Accra.
The daring operation, according to the elated official, underscores the NIB’s commitment to combating illicit activities and protecting the nation’s security.
He went on to say that the seizure is a significant blow to narcotics traffickers in the region.
The latest development reinforces the NIB’s reputation as a formidable force against illicit activities, whether it be cocoa smuggling or drug trafficking, emphasizing the need for those aiding these nefarious deeds to desist, as they remain on the NIB’s radar, he concludes.
Meanwhile, reliable information gathered by The Chronicle reveals that the consignment has been handed over to the Narcotics Control Commission in Ho pending further action.
