Ghana’s National Security has seized a significant but undisclosed amount of U.S. dollars and Ghana cedis, hidden inside twelve 20-foot shipping containers at a warehouse in Sapeiman, Ga South Municipality.
The operation, triggered by a tip-off, led to the discovery of wooden boxes filled with cement, concealing bundles of U.S. dollars. Additional compartments barricaded with plywood and charcoal contained more cash.
Authorities are still tracking two missing containers, while a manhunt is underway for four suspects, including a ringleader known only as Alhaji.
The raid also uncovered boxes of metals suspected to be gold bars, counterfeit cedi notes in ₵50 and ₵100 denominations, as well as fake Ghana Army uniforms and boots.
State security agencies are investigating the origins and intended use of the seized items.
