The Aflao Sector of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, on Friday destroyed three truck loads of expired and prohibited goods, at Aflao, Volta Region.
The goods worth thousands of Ghana Cedis were assorted foreign cigarettes, imitation wax prints, sex enhancing and other assorted drugs, insecticides, mosquito coils and sprays, snuffs and footwear.
