The Ghana Navy has intercepted a canoe transporting 37 sacks of suspected Indian hemp during a maritime operation conducted at Goi, south of Sege. 
The operation, which took place on Friday, March 27, 2026, was executed following credible intelligence that enabled operatives of the Special Boat Squadron (SBS) to track and apprehend the suspect vessel as it attempted to land along the coastal area.
According to a statement released by authorities, the suspects abandoned the canoe and fled upon encountering the operatives, resulting in no immediate arrests.
A thorough search of the vessel revealed 37 sacks of compressed substances believed to be Indian hemp.
A preliminary assessment conducted by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) suggests that each sack contained approximately 70 parcels.
Additional items confiscated from the canoe included an outboard motor, two gallons of premix fuel, and five empty gallons.
The seized canoe and exhibits have been transported to the Tema Fishing Harbour and handed over to NACOC for further forensic analysis and investigations.
