Five Ghanaians Arrested In Dubai For Possession Of Weed

Five Ghanaians have been detained by Police in Dubai for drug trafficking.

They were arrested from the Dubai international airport while allegedly attempting to smuggle marijuana into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) within the first quarter of 2021.

One of them is serving a 10-years jail term for carrying weed he was not aware of and weed that someone else would have benefited from.

In a statement, Ghana’s consulate in Dubai disclosed that the substances usually concealed in food items were reportedly given to travelers by their agents in Ghana.

They are therefore advising travelers to desist from receiving items from agents or other persons unless they can inspect and ascertain the exact contents of such packages.
