The Interior Minister, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, has revealed that four individuals have been arrested and granted bail in connection with the major drug bust in Cape Coast earlier this year.  

He added that two prime suspects, however, remained at large. 

According to the Minister, who was briefing Parliament on Wednesday, he noted that apart from the driver and his assistant, four other individuals were subsequently arrested and granted bail, adding that efforts were ongoing to arrest the two prime suspects, with the next court hearing scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2025. 

He said: “Mr. Speaker, it has to be mentioned that apart from the driver and his assistant, four other individuals were subsequently arrested and granted bail.” 

“Two prime suspects are, however, at large. Efforts are ongoing to arrest them. The next court hearing of the matter is scheduled to take place on July 24, 2025,” he said on the Floor of Parliament. 

The operation, which led to the seizure of approximately 3.3 tonnes of cocaine, was carried out by operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in March 2025.  

The Interior Minister assured lawmakers that the government remained committed to tackling drug trafficking.
