The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has begun investigations into allegations of extortion involving some officers of its Customs Division Task Force in the Ashanti Region.
This follows complaints lodged by the Traders Advocacy Group Ghana (TAGG).
In a press release issued on Thursday, November 27, 2025, the GRA said it had taken note of reports that certain officers intercepted containers bound for Kumasi on claims that the goods were undervalued.
According to TAGG, the officers allegedly demanded additional payments from the importer, who insisted that the charges were unjustified.
The Authority emphasised that it is treating the allegations with the seriousness they deserve and has initiated a comprehensive internal inquiry to establish the facts.
It assured the public that the findings of the investigation will be communicated once the process is completed.
