The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has challenged the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to intensify efforts to identify and prosecute the financiers and organisers behind Ghana-linked drug trafficking networks.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to focus on prosecuting the financiers and organizers behind Ghana-linked drug trafficking networks, rather than targeting political opponents. In a statement on Thursday, October 1, the Effutu MP questioned the disproportionate attention being given to the investigation of Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, while major narcotics cases related to Ghana continue to emerge.
Afenyo-Markin emphasized that EOCO must pursue the kingpins, not persecute political opponents, and called for a collaborative effort between EOCO and the National Anti-Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) to trace financial networks and assets involved in the drug trade.
