GRA petitioned to probe unauthorised removal of 28 containers from Tema Port

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has been petitioned to investigate the unauthorised removal and disappearance of 28 containers at the Tema Port. The petition, dated September 29 and addressed to the Commissioner-General of the GRA, was written by importers who identified several Bills of Lading (BL) numbers linked to the containers.

According to the petition, the containers were found to be empty, missing, transferred, or moved out of the port without the knowledge of their owners. The importers have already reported the matter to the Tema Regional Police Command, with arrests reportedly made in connection with the case. The GRA is asked to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the movement of the containers and establish how they were removed or transferred without the owners' knowledge.

This incident follows allegations of illegal removal and diversion of containers from the Tema Port, which came to light after some affected owners discovered their goods being offloaded from one of the containers into a warehouse near the GHACEM area in Tema.
