US Army personnel convicted for smuggling Earlier in 2024, a Ghanaian in the US Army, Kojo Owusu Dartey, was found guilty of smuggling guns into Ghana.

The smuggled guns were concealed within blue barrels of rice and household goods, according to court files. The conviction followed a joint effort between US law enforcement agencies and Ghanaian authorities. Recent instances of illicit smuggling YEN.com.gh reported that Ghana Airports Company Limited interdicted all staff allegedly involved in a narcotic smuggling incident at the Kotoka International Airport. The incident was discovered after the smuggler was apprehended by Brussels police in Belgium. By  Delali Adogla-Bessa, Yen
