Coke saga: Mahama’s justification of BNI’s action “laughable” - IMANI
The President of Policy Think Tank IMANI Ghana,
Franklin Cudjoe has described as “laughable”
President John Mahama’s justification of the
BNI’s invitation of two top media managers over
publications by their media houses concerning a
Ghanaian lady busted in London for drug
trafficking.

According him, the President in his comments on
the matter failed to address some of most critical
issues that have been raised since the arrest of
Nayele Ametefe last week.

Citi FM boss, Samuel Atta Mensah and Editor of
state-owned Daily Graphic, Ransford Tetteh, were
on Monday invited and questioned by the BNI for
their publication which claimed the lady suspect
travelled on a diplomatic passport.

President Mahama has said the invitation was
justifiable and necessary in bringing conclusion
to the controversies surrounding the arrest of the
Ghanaian lady at Heathrow Airport.

Speaking on the Starr Midday News, Thursday, the
IMANI boss, however, said: “The President’s
explanation is even more laughable."

"First of all, he doesn’t tell us why the lady
had to use the VVIP. If she didn’t have a
diplomatic passport what business did she have
using the VVIP, and the British Authorities have
confirmed that she used the VVIP”.

He said the President must explain to Ghanaians
how the drugs "were delivered to the suspect on
the plane" at the Kotoka International Airport.

“The drugs were sent to her [on the plane],
that’s what should occupy anybody’s mind not
what the BNI did. What the BNI did was obviously
shameful,” he fumed.
