The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has destroyed seized illicit drugs estimated to be worth more than $10.2 million at Bundase in the Greater Accra Region.
The substances that were destroyed include 564.39 kilograms of cannabis valued at $112,878; 4,730,100 capsules and tablets of synthetic opioids estimated at $5,912,625; and 338,000 bottles of codeine-infused cough mixture valued at $4,225,000.
The total estimated value of the seized substances stands at $10,250,503.
The exercise on November 5, 2026, comes amid renewed attention on drug trafficking and cocaine-related busts linked to Ghana.
It forms parts of NACOC's efforts to curb the illicit drug trade and also to prevent seized substances from finding their way back into circulation.
