The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested three suspects allegedly linked to the ‘Bolle Jos’ cocaine trafficking network following the seizure of a cocaine shipment by French customs.

According to NACOC, the suspects are currently in its custody and are assisting with investigations into their alleged roles in the reported cocaine trafficking operation.

The Commission said the arrests form part of ongoing investigations into the network and the circumstances surrounding the seizure.

NACOC reaffirmed its commitment to preventing Ghana from becoming a safe haven, transit point or operational base for organised drug trafficking.

It also stressed that the legal rights and protections of all persons under investigation will be upheld throughout the process.

The latest development comes amid growing scrutiny of Ghana’s role in international narcotics trafficking, particularly following a series of major drug seizures involving consignments linked to the country.

However, the Minority in Parliament has called for a full-scale independent parliamentary inquiry into what it describes as Ghana’s growing emergence as a transit hub for narcotics under the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

In a statement issued on September 13 and signed by the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, cited the seizure by French authorities of cocaine valued at more than $260 million, concealed in a container of plastic waste, alongside other high-profile narcotics cases as evidence of what it considers serious gaps in drug enforcement, port security, and institutional oversight.

The Minority added that the seizures linked to Ghana under the Mahama-led administration have a combined value of well over $1 billion in less than two years.
