Mr. Gorden  Akurugu, Volta Regional Director of FDA said his outfit  had mounted road blocks at vantage points where buses usually ply and picked intelligence on the movement of the two buses leading to the arrest.

He said assorted drugs including diclofenac and antibiotics were found in the buses in large quantities.

The Director said the buses were transiting the drugs through unapproved routes into the country because the Kotoka International Airport and the Tema Port were the only ways through which drugs or medicines could enter the country.

Mr. Akurugu said the confiscated drugs had no permit from the FDA and that the owners also failed to pay tax on the goods because of the usage of unapproved routes.
