Four individuals have been arrested in connection with a 3.9-tonne cocaine shipment, valued at €225 million, in Accra, Ghana. The suspects, including businesspeople Kwaku Okyere and Desmond Koranteng, as well as Musah Arthur and Jessica (Okyere's wife), appeared before a High Court in Accra. Judge Charity Akosua Asem ruled against granting bail, deeming the situation a disgrace and an insult to the nation.
The arrest is linked to Dutch drug smuggler Jos Leijdekkers, also known as "Bolle Jos." The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) stated that the suspects allegedly facilitated Leijdekkers' activities, wanted for international drug trafficking. Charges include conspiracy to commit crime, transport narcotics without lawful authority, and exportation of narcotics.
The suspects pleaded not guilty, and their lawyers argued they had no ties to narcotics. The bail application was opposed by the prosecution, and Justice Asem remanded the suspects for three weeks. The Minority in Parliament has called for an independent inquiry into a series of major narcotics seizures, accusing the NDC government of allowing Ghana to become a transit hub for international drug trafficking.
