Reject ‘Cocaine Coast’ label through action, not words – Miracles Aboagye tells government

Senior aide to NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has challenged the government to demonstrate through concrete action that Ghana does not deserve the “Cocaine Coast” label. In a Facebook post, Mr Aboagye directed his remarks at government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, insisting that simply rejecting the description would not address the concerns arising from recent major drug trafficking cases linked to Ghana.

He argued that the description was not based on cocaine seizures made by Ghanaian authorities but on the scale and frequency of consignments reportedly passing through Ghana before being intercepted in other countries.
