A
Ghanaian woman has been arrested by security operatives at the Heathrow Airport
in London. Officials have given her name as Nayeli Ametefeh, and was
reportedly carrying cocaine weighing 12.kg valued at several hundred thousand
pounds.The
32 year old Nayeli Ametefe holds a Ghanaian passport and an Austrian
citizenship. Her Ghanaian passport number is G03764497 and her Austrian
passport number is P4187659. She went through screening procedures at the
Kotoka International Airport without any problems but
was busted in London. She was arrested by border officials after questioning.
Ms Ametefeh has been charged with attempting to import a class ‘A’ drug. Border
Force Heathrow Director Marc Owen said the seizure has prevented a large
quantity of drugs from reaching their streets. He thanked officers for their
work in protecting the UK from this terrible trade. Nayeli appeared at Uxbridge
Magistrate’s Court on November 11 and was remanded in custody until her next
appearance at Isleworth Crown Court on November 27.
