Navy Grabs 37 Sacks of ‘Wee’ In Sege

The Ghana Navy has intercepted a canoe laden with 37 sacks of substances suspected to be Indian hemp in a well-coordinated maritime operation along the country’s eastern coastline.

The operation, which took place on Friday, March 27, 2026, at Goi, a coastal community in Sege in the Greater Accra Region, was executed by operatives of the Special Boat Squadron (SBS) following actionable intelligence on suspicious activity in the area.

In an official statement, the Navy explained that, the SBS team swiftly mobilised and tracked the suspect canoe as it made its way towards the shoreline.

Upon closing in on the vessel at the Goi beach, the operatives moved to intercept it. However, the individuals on board, upon spotting the approaching security personnel, abandoned the canoe and fled into nearby surroundings, evading arrest.

Preliminary examination by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) estimated about 70 parcels per sack. Other items recovered included two gallons of premix fuel, five empty gallons, and an outboard motor.
