The CEO of Global Cargo and Commodities Limited, Jacob Gbati, has denied media reports linking him and his company Global Cargo and Commodities to the alleged importation of an illegal substance worth $ 10 million that is believed which are drugs.
It should be remembered that a few days ago, the Narcotics Control Commission in collaboration with state security in the Port of Tema intercepted a 100-kilogram package suspected of being illegal drugs.
The substance, allegedly buried inside a 40-foot container loaded with sugar, is believed to have a street value of more than $ 10 million.
The container is said to be part of 50 other containers consigned to a Company called TradePass, whose shipping Global Cargo and Commodities Limited was contracted as Freight Forwarders and Clearing Agents to clear and store from the port of Tema.
Since then, investigations into the alleged importation of the substance have begun.
However, speaking through his attorneys at Blay and Associates, Mr. Gbati denied any ownership or importation of the alleged substance.
In a public notice distributed by its attorneys, Global Cargo and Commodities Limited distanced itself from anything illegal in connection with the transaction.
According to the notice, “Our Clients have learned that there is news circulating in the media, both print and electronic, to the effect that our Clients, Global Cargo and Commodities Limited, an established and accredited Freight Forwarders and Clearing Agents in Ghana and other countries they have been involved in importing containers with some quantities of substances suspected of being illegal drugs ”.
“Our clients are extremely concerned and very disturbed by such malicious and negative reports and news in the media,” the notice read.
“We must affirm that Global Cargo and Commodities Limited is a renowned Ghanaian company in the freight forwarding and transport business in all sub-regions of Africa. In fact, it is the largest in the industry at least in Ghana, ”he added.
“Our clients, Mr. Gbati Jacob and Global Cargo and Commodities Limited, have never been or are in any way involved in the importation of illegal drugs or substances, either directly or indirectly into the country or anywhere else,” he said. .
He added that “Our Clients have been informed that State Security Agencies are investigating a matter related to the importation of sugar containers allegedly mixed with some allegedly illegal substance. We affirm with emphasis that, however, our Clients have nothing to do with imports ”.
“Our Clients were simply hired only by a SUCDEN, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates to clean said sugar containers and store them in the warehouse chosen by the Suppliers in Tema, for another Company, TRADEPASS in Accra.”
“We must emphasize here that our Clients were not involved in any way in the import and had nothing to do with it.”
“All media, both print and electronic, are requested to diligently investigate the matter and refrain from publishing and circulating erroneous information about our Clients to the Public regarding the matter,” he urged.
