SPAIN SEIZES 2.6 TONNES OF COCAINE SHIPPED FROM TEMA PORT AS GHANA-LINKED INVESTIGATION WIDENS
Spanish authorities have seized 2.6 tonnes of cocaine concealed beneath false bottoms in wooden coconut crates carried in two containers loaded at Tema Port on August 2 and delivered to Valencia on August 22. The Spanish Tax Agency and Guardia Civil tracked the shipment to a warehouse in Almería, where two men were arrested, while NACOC has since detained at least one Tema-based freight forwarder linked to the customs documentation and is pursuing further suspects. Investigators have not yet publicly established where the cocaine was inserted into the cargo or whether any Ghanaian port official was involved.
