The Ghana Revenue Authority has interdicted five officers of its Customs Division with immediate effect, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into alleged transit cargo irregularities.
In a press release issued on February 24, 2026, the Authority said the decision followed preliminary findings from an enforcement operation conducted on February 18, 2026, involving a consignment of transit cargo declared for onward movement to Niger.
Management disclosed that the operation uncovered discrepancies in documentation and non-compliance with established transit procedures, prompting a detailed internal review. Initial assessments, the statement said, point to potential procedural breaches that require an independent and comprehensive examination.
The Ghana Revenue Authority noted that additional officers may be invited to assist with the investigation where necessary. It added that, upon conclusion of the process, appropriate administrative action will be taken in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The Authority assured stakeholders and the general public that the interdictions reflect its commitment to protecting national revenue, supporting local industry growth and promoting overall economic development. It reiterated its resolve to ensure that all revenue collection and enforcement procedures are carried out with the highest standards of professionalism and accountability.
