NPP Demands Public Accounts of Financiers behind Ghana -Linked Drug Cases

Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has demanded a transparent investigation into the financiers and organisers behind drug trafficking cases allegedly linked to Ghana. During a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Boakye, known as Nana B, emphasized the need for a full public account of those financing and orchestrating the alleged trafficking operations, extending beyond the arrest and public presentation of low-level suspects.

Mr Boakye called for a thorough examination of the 12 recent drug seizure and interception incidents, including those involving drugs allegedly coming from Ghana. He questioned the identities of those behind the movement of the drugs and how the consignments managed to bypass Ghana's borders and ports. The NPP leader alleged that drug traffickers might have set up clandestine facilities in Ghana to process drugs before exportation.

According to Mr Boakye, there is intelligence suggesting that drug lords and traffickers have established bases and laboratories in Ghana for drug processing under the watch of President Mahama. He also claimed that government officials are facilitating the transit of narcotics out of Ghana. The NPP official further stated that the government must identify the financiers, organizers, and the methods used by these networks to gain access to Ghana's trade and transportation channels.

Mr Boakye stressed that merely identifying individuals caught transporting drugs does not address the broader structure behind the alleged trafficking networks. He urged for investigations that can trace these networks to their financiers and organizers, along with holding accountable any officials found to have compromised Ghana's security at its ports, airports, or borders.
