The Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspects and seized large quantities of assorted wax-print fabrics suspected to be counterfeit GTP products in Accra.
The operation was carried out by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Special Operations Team (SOT) following intelligence that two articulated trucks, with registration numbers SMK-161-YH and T-28975-LA, suspected to have originated from Nigeria, were offloading goods believed to be contraband at a warehouse off the Kojo Thompson Highway in Adabraka.
The seized consignment is estimated to be worth GH¢20 million and is suspected to have been smuggled into the country from Nigeria.
The goods have been conveyed to the National Police Headquarters for further investigations.
The two suspects are currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while efforts are underway to identify other persons connected to the importation and distribution of the products.
