Officials of the Bureau of National Investigations
have arrested nine more people in Accra in
connection with the cocaine burst at the Heathrow
International Airport in London involving a
Ghanaian lady, Nayele Ametefe.


Ms Ametefeh had tried to smuggle 12.5 kilos of
cocaine to the UK from Ghana.

According to the Daily Guide newspaper, two women
among the nine persons arrested in connection with
the scandal were travelling with Nayele, also
known as Ruby.

The ladies, Nana Akua Amponsah and Sadalia Nuhu,
according to the newspaper had abandoned their
luggages and absconded from the Heathrow
International Airport after Nayele was busted.
The other seven are Paa Kwesi Acquah, believed to
be Sandra's boyfriend; Mustapha Kilba; three
Lebanese, Faisal Khadar, Abdulla Mustrah, Mouiw
Jaafar and Charbel Nasr, and Italian, Marioto
Bernard Young.

Earlier, three Foreign Affairs staff were remanded
into prison custody by a circuit court.

This brings the arrests so far by the BNI to 12.

Nayele Ametefeh, aka Ruby Adu Gyamfi, was busted
with cocaine at the Heathrow airport after she
tried to smuggle the banned substance, with a
street value of more than 5 million dollars two
weeks ago

She is expected to appear in a UK court on
November 27 over the matter.
