Report from Ghana says, the country’s Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), has arrested a 56-year-old Nigerian, Uchechukwu Chima, in an intelligence-led operation at Oyarifa, a suburb of Accra, Ghana’s capital.
According to Graphic, the operation, which took place on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, led to the discovery of 192kg of cocaine and 0.42kg of heroin at the suspect’s hideout.
Field tests confirmed the substances as narcotics, with an estimated street value of $2.1 million.

The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue.
