The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has presented GH¢12.65 million to the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), representing 50% of the proceeds from the sale of 17 gold bars seized from illicit gold traders in 2025.
Explaining the reward distribution, GoldBod CEO, Sammy Gyamfi, Esq., stated that under GoldBod’s reward policy, 10% of the proceeds is allocated to the informant whose credible intelligence led to the successful operation. In recognition of the bravery and sacrifice of the officers involved, the GoldBod Board of Directors approved an additional 20% for the NACOC officers who risked their lives during the operation, while the remaining 20% was awarded to NACOC as an institution for deploying its personnel and resources.
Receiving the cheque, NACOC Director-General, Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, commended GoldBod for fulfilling its commitment and reaffirmed the Commission’s resolve to continue working closely with GoldBod to combat illegal gold trading.
This presentation underscores GoldBod’s unwavering commitment to rewarding credible intelligence, strengthening collaboration with state security agencies, and protecting Ghana’s gold resources through effective enforcement.
