NPP demands dismisssal of officials over cocaine busts, accuses Mahama of weak leadership

The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, Henry Nana Boakye, has criticized President John Dramani Mahama for his handling of recent drug trafficking cases linked to Ghana. Boakye claims that the president's leadership has been weak and that officials responsible for failing to prevent drug trafficking should be dismissed.

At an NPP press conference, Boakye highlighted several drug-related incidents involving the interception of large quantities of cocaine. He specifically mentioned a tipper truck carrying over 3.3 tonnes of cocaine on March 4, 2025, and another truck with approximately 120 slabs of cocaine on the same highway in March 2025. Boakye's comments have put renewed political pressure on the government over Ghana's response to drug trafficking.
