Did someone send the cocaine to Nayele Ametefe during the flight?
Kweku Baako Jnr., Editor-in-Chief of the New
Crusading Guide has challenged the Narcotics
Control Board (NACOB) to release a detailed
account of their supposedly collaborative efforts
with its British counterpart regarding the arrest
of Ms. Neyele Ametefe, the woman at the center of
the recent cocaine bust.

Kweku Baako questioned NACOB for failing to
address some pertinent issues leading up to the
arrest of the woman in its press statement on the
matter.

Nayele Ametefe was arrested at Heathrow Airport in
London on November 10, 2014 with cocaine weighing
12.5kgs, worth millions of dollars.

In a statement to the media, NACOB stated that the
arrest was effected through a collaborative effort
with its British connections who tracked her
moves.

“One Ms. Nayele Ametefe was arrested on the 10th
of November, 2014 through the collaborative effort
of Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) and its British
partners.

“On the 9th November, 2014, one Ms. Nayele
Ametefeh boarded British Airways flight number BA
078 from Accra to London. She was arrested at
Heathrow International Airport. She had flown on a
first class ticket using travel miles on British
Airways point. The ticket had been purchased on
8th October, 2014 and had been altered three
times.”

It added: “In her possession she had two (2)
suitcases. Only one (1) of the suitcases was
checked in (Baggage tag number BA 059801) and
nothing of interest was found. In the other
suitcase which was believed to be hand carried
onto the plane, 10kgs of cocaine was found among
her clothing. The cocaine were wrapped in one kilo
blocks. In her hand bag, she had further two (2)
kilos (blocks)."

The woman was also reported to be carrying an
Austrian passport with number P4187659 and also
had with her an ordinary Ghanaian passport, number
G0364497 on her.

But according to reports by the seasoned
journalist, Kweku Baako, the busted "cocaine" lady
was apparently helped by some unknown persons to
get the cocaine on flight.

Kweku Baako disclosed on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo",
that Ms. Nayele Ametefe did not carry the bags by
herself to the plane.

"Some unidentified people managed to send her the
bags while on the plane and it was on flight that
she removed portions of the drug into her
handbag," Mr. Baako added.

He therefore wonders why the NACOB failed to
include in its report the third party who helped
the lady to get a pass through the Kotoka
International Airport (KIA) before being arrested
at Heathrow Airport.

“The girl didn’t send the bags by herself to
the plane. She was on the plane and somebody sent
it to her...She was pressing it (cocaine) into the
thing (suitcase) but it couldn’t get into the
bag.

"It was too huge that she had to be helped. So,
she removed the 2 kilos of cocaine and put it
inside her handbag on the plane, and left the 10
[kilos] in her compartment. This is what happened.
Now, who sent the thing (cocaine) to her on the
flight?”

“They must have seen who brought it. Has the
person been arrested?” he questioned.

To him, if indeed the arrest was made through a
collaborative effort, then it means the NACOB
should know when and how the lady got on the
flight to the United Kingdom (UK).

“If it had not reached the end point, then it
was not right [prudent] to have arrested her in
Heathrow. She might as well have been arrested in
Accra because you (NACOB) had already concluded
(whatever investigations you were carrying
out),” he added.
