The New Patriotic Party has
condemned government’s reaction to the arrest of a Ghanaian lady in London for
trafficking cocaine. Officials at Heathrow airport arrested the Ghanaian
suspect last week for carrying a large consignment of cocaine weighing 12.5kgs.
Government has clarified that the suspect was not travelling with a diplomatic
passport contrary to earlier reports. According to the communications minister,
Edward Omane Boamah, the suspect has no links with the first family. But the
NPP has accused government of concealing some vital information. Newly elected
deputy communications director for the party, Anthony Karbo in an interview with Starr News stated that the government must explain to Ghanaians
how the lady went through the Kotoka International Airport without being
suspected of carrying drugs. Karbo also challenged the government to provide
the actual picture of the lady suspect to suppress all rumours and
speculations. Meanwhile, the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) has revealed that
the woman who was arrested in the UK with cocaine traveled from the Kotoka
International Airport on an Austrian passport. NACOB reiterated that the lady
did not travel on a diplomatic passport after
she was busted with about 12.kg of cocaine at the Heathrow airport.
