Sources told the newspaper that a ship carrying some containers with cocaine on board arrived at the Tema Port in December 2016.
The drugs, however, vanished before February 23, 2017, when all stakeholders conducted compulsory tests on the container.
Reports say K9 Dogs which are specially trained to detect cocaine confirmed traces of cocaine in the said container.

UK’s Operation Westbridge also conducted sampling by the use of itemisers which also confirmed trace of cocaine.
Many believe that the move has once again heavily dented the image of the country in its fight against drugs.
