The Food and Drugs Board and the Customs, Excise and Preventive Services department are under pressure to solve a riddle that is mocking surveillance on drug importation into the country. The two institutions are being bombarded with information about a syndicate smuggling into the country, large consignments of drugs whose potency and chemical contents have not been subjected to any test. However, the two state institutions are powerless to act because no one has been able to pin point the identity of the companies and the personalities involved. The drug smuggling gang is also denying the state large amount of revenue in import and custom duties, a fact that is serious source of worry to CEPS boss Kofi Poku-Ntiamoah.
