A secret cannabis-infused liqueur factory has been shut down by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) and the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) in a joint operation at Ntiribuoho in the Offinso Municipality of the Ashanti Region. The illegal facility, concealed within a two-bedroom structure on a poultry farm, was producing a cannabis-laced alcoholic beverage known as Famude, which is also marketed as Kings Orange Flavoured Liqueur.
Authorities reported that the setup was carefully hidden to avoid detection.
Officials from NACOC and the FDA stressed their joint commitment to public safety and warned about the health dangers associated with unlicensed products. “This operation underscores our joint resolve to clamp down on the distribution of harmful and illegal substances in our communities,” a spokesperson for the FDA said.
They further cautioned that such illicit products violate Ghana’s drug and food safety laws and could endanger lives. Authorities are calling on the public to avoid unapproved consumables and to report any suspicious activities. The suspect in custody is assisting with ongoing investigations as the hunt continues for the others involved in the underground operation.
