NPP accuses Mahama government of allowing Ghana to become drug transit hub
The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has alleged that Ghana has become a major transit point for illicit drugs under the administration of President John Mahama.
The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has accused the Mahama government of allowing Ghana to become a major transit point for illicit drugs. At a press briefing on Tuesday, September 22, Boakye alleged that the country's ports and airports were being used to facilitate this drug trafficking.
He claimed that clandestine laboratories had been established in Ghana to process narcotics for export. Boakye further stated that drug lords had set up bases in Ghana, with the assistance of certain government officials. According to his intelligence, these drug traffickers were operating within Ghana, under the watch of President Mahama.
The NPP leader linked the alleged drug activities to seizures involving consignments that were traced back to Ghana in countries such as Australia, France, and South Africa. He insisted that the processing of these drugs was taking place within Ghana, and accused government officials of facilitating the movement of these narcotics.
Boakye emphasized that this criminal activity was occurring on Ghanaian soil, under the government's oversight.
