NPP alleges illicit drug-processing laboratories operating at Ghana’s main ports
The National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has alleged that laboratories used to process illicit drugs have been established at Ghana’s main entry and exit points in Tema and Accra.
Opposition leader Henry Nana Boakye, known as Nana B, has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of allowing clandestine drug-processing laboratories to operate within Ghana's main ports. Boakye made the allegations during a press conference on Tuesday, September 22, stating that these facilities were being used to process narcotics before they were exported from Ghana.
He claimed that the intelligence indicated drug traffickers were establishing such labs under the watch of President John Mahama. However, Boakye did not provide any verifiable evidence to support his claims or identify the individuals allegedly operating the laboratories. He described the situation as troubling, highlighting weaknesses in the government's efforts to combat drug trafficking.
Boakye's allegations came as concern grew following the seizure of nearly 3.9 tonnes of cocaine in France, which was reportedly concealed in a container carrying plastic waste shipped from Ghana.
