The Customs Preventive Unit of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), in collaboration with the National Security, has impounded ten trucks loaded with 540,000 litres of diesel in a major fuel diversion scheme aimed at evading about GH¢2.3 million in taxes and levies.
According to the GRA, the syndicate disengaged the tracking devices shortly after loading and diverted the fuel under the cover of darkness, bypassing the designated export process.
The trucks were later intercepted at Kpone near Tema in the Greater Accra Region on October 7, 2025, following an intelligence-led operation.
Addressing journalists in Accra, the Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Kwasi Sarpong, said that after a tip-off, a team monitored the trucks at the port, where the consignment was purportedly meant for export.
However, upon arrival, it was discovered that no vessel had been designated to receive the product.
Investigations further revealed that the company involved had disengaged the tracking devices on the tankers and diverted the fuel.
