The sweet is part of an illicit haul seized by UK Border Force (UKBF) officers bound for the UK at Accra airport in Ghana.
Smugglers had stashed around £200,000 worth of the drug inside bags of the lollipops which were found in a suitcase.

The seizure was made by the Ghanaian authorities working with British officers from UKBF’s Operation Westbridge team and the Serious Organised Crime Agency on Tuesday September 11.
The seizure weighed around four kilos, half of which is believed to have been high-purity cocaine.
Home Office minister Mark Harper said: ‘Disguising a deadly drug as a harmless bag of children’s sweets shows the depths people sink to in order to smuggle drugs.
‘The international drug trade is a vile business that Border Force officers play a key part in disrupting.’
UKBF officers have been based in Ghana since 2006 in a bid to prevent gangs smuggling illegal drugs through the country into the UK.
Around 860 kilos of cocaine and 323 kilos of heroin have been seized by them during that time – while 170 drug couriers have been arrested.
UKBF customs director Tom Dowdall said the drugs hidden in the lollipops, would almost certainly be fatal if eaten, which, he said makes ‘this smuggling attempt all the more shocking and dangerous.’ – Attribution to The Daily Mail UK.
From information in the reports looks like the UKBF – The UK Border Force are doing a very good job in quelling the trading of cocaine in a very dangerous criminal environment.

Apparently Devin Townsend was to disband SYL after ‘97’s City album, which would have been a tragedy. But they say September 11 rekindled the anger and aggression in him sufficiently to resurrect the Metallic beast , and the result was ‘03’s ‘SYL’, a more organic, although no less devastating release.
I have every DT album ever made, and I was looking back over their back catalogue the other day. I realized that they have released a brand new studio album every two years, without fail, since 1997’s ‘Falling into Infinity’.
