NACOC arrests notorious drug trafficker in Accra

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has arrested a long-time drug trafficking suspect, Uchechukwu Chima, in a major intelligence-led operation at Oyarifa, Accra.

The 56-year-old Nigerian national was apprehended on March 18, with authorities seizing 192kg of cocaine and 0.42kg of heroin from his hideout.

The narcotics, valued at $2.1 million, were confirmed through field tests.

Chima, who has been on NACOC’s watchlist, is suspected of orchestrating several past drug operations.

His arrest marks a significant breakthrough in Ghana’s crackdown on drug cartels.

NACOC has reiterated its commitment to dismantling drug networks and ensuring public safety.

The suspect remains in custody as investigations continue.
