An Accra Circuit Court has remanded three persons over the alleged concealment of 869 slabs of suspected cocaine in bags of gari and cassava powder in Tema. The accused persons are Gilano Jorgino Holwin, a Dutch security guard; Alhaji Iddrisu Haruna, a 56-year-old transporter; and John Mensah Sarbah, a 41-year-old clearing agent. The court, presided over by Mrs Evelyn Asamoah, remanded them into lawful custody after their lawyers’ bail applications were refused. The court heard that the accused persons were found loading white sacks of gari and cassava powder from the warehouse at the Main Harbour into a DAF truck with registration number WR 1118-10. Upon inspection, the prosecution said 869 slabs of substances suspected to be narcotics were found concealed in the bags of gari and cassava powder.
