France cocaine seizure: We believe there could be more arrests in Ghana - NACOC

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) of Ghana has indicated that more arrests could be made in the country and abroad following a recent cocaine seizure by French customs. This seizure is linked to a Dutch fugitive known as Jos Leijdekkers, or Boelle Jos, who was allegedly involved in drug trafficking activities in Ghana. Acting Director of Public Affairs and International Relations for NACOC, PNCO Francis Opoku Amoah, stated that the commission is confident that more arrests are possible, both locally and internationally, as they collaborate with various partners.

Amoah emphasized that intelligence suggests Boelle Jos is currently residing in Sierra Leone, although the reasons for his protection in that country remain unclear. He further revealed that Boelle Jos first came under the radar of Ghanaian authorities after interactions with their Dutch counterparts, who had reported the suspect as wanted and having fled his country.

The arrested suspects are believed to be connected to Boelle Jos, and NACOC has been monitoring them for an extended period.
