  "summary": "The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) of Ghana has received information from their Dutch partners indicating that wanted drug suspect Boelle Jos, linked to a recent €225 million cocaine seizure in France, is currently hiding in Sierra Leone. Acting Director of Public Affairs and International Relations at NACOC, PNCO Francis Opoku Amoah, disclosed this during an interview on TV3's The KeyPoints. The NACOC is collaborating with Dutch authorities to explore possible ways to assist in locating the suspect. Intelligence suggests that Boelle Jos has not yet entered Ghana, but his associates were operating from the country. The commission also announced the arrest of three suspects in Ghana who were allegedly involved in facilitating Leijdekkers' network.",
