According to the Security agencies’ information, the suspects were able to carry out the smuggling activity through the help of Kwame Francois who has his accomplice here in Ghana to the Airport where they were trying to smuggle these goods from Accra to Dakar, Senegal.
Upon a tip-off about this smuggling, the National Security, joined with other Security agencies, carried out their arrest in an intelligent operation at the Kotoka International Airport.
Documents seized from Kwame Francois revealed that the goods belonged to Modon Diop with address as, “11 Route De Rufisque Dakar Senegal,” and Dauda Adeleke as his partner. Kwame Francois and Ass Diagne are their accomplices and are on bail while investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, the two who have been granted bail, are at large and have run out of the country.
