Ghana’s National Security has intercepted a huge haul of US dollars, gold bars, and counterfeit Ghanaian currency in a high-risk operation at Sapeiman in the Ga South Municipality.

The successful raid has triggered a nationwide manhunt for four key suspects, including a ringleader identified only as 'Alhaji'.

Acting on intelligence, security operatives tracked a dozen 20-foot shipping containers to a warehouse in Sapeiman.

Upon arrival, they uncovered a large quantity of illicit cash and contraband cleverly concealed in wooden crates, camouflaged with cement and charcoal to evade detection.

According to officials, the operation found substantial amounts of both genuine US dollars and counterfeit Ghana cedi notes in 50 and 100 denominations.

The cash was hidden in wooden boxes sealed with plywood and covered with layers of charcoal to mislead authorities.

Additionally, several metal boxes suspected to contain gold bars were also discovered.

Investigators believe the sophisticated concealment methods indicate a well-organised criminal syndicate involved in large-scale smuggling and money laundering.

National Security officials confirmed that two of the twelve shipping containers remain unaccounted for.

The raid also found counterfeit Ghana Army uniforms and boots at the warehouse, raising concerns about potential military impersonation.

Authorities suspect the uniforms may have been intended for illegal activities where criminals would pose as security personnel.
