Ghana could be losing thousands if not millions of cedis to smugglers at various unapproved routes at the Elubo border in the Western region.
The smugglers who transport goods at a fee for people looking to evade duties at the approved routes have been emboldened by the lack of logistics on the part of immigration and customs officials stationed there.
