Sources indicate that On 04/03/25 at about 4:30 pm  (1630 hours), a Hogvan truck carrying about 120 slabs of cocaine with a street value of about 150 million dollars was arrested by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), formerly Bureau of National Investigation  (BNI) on the Takoradi -Cape Coast highway. 

The driver in charge of the Hogvan truck upon interrogation mentioned one  Charles HAGAN Also Known as " PANYA", a former NDC parliamentary candidate for Sekondi in the 2020 elections as the owner of the products.

Subsequently, HAGAN was picked up by the bureau but has been allegedly left off the hook due to his political inclination with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
