Accra, June 2, Ghanadot/GNA – A
Ghanaian and two Togolese who were arrested at Nsawam at the
weekend with 399 parcels of cocaine appeared before the
Greater Accra Regional Tribunal on Monday on various charges
of illegal possession of drugs.
Kwame Anane, a Ghanaian driver, Eugene Kofi Amewu an
unemployed Togolese and Valentine Kofi Deblui, a Togolese
driver, were brought before the tribunal under heavy police
guard.
The three men are being held for conspiracy, possessing
narcotics drugs without authority and importation of
narcotic drugs without authority. The court did not take
their pleas.
They were remanded into police custody until June 19.
DPS Paul Kissi Frimpong, the prosecutor, prayed for an
adjournment pending further investigations.
He said between 0600 and 0700 on May 30, a team of policemen
upon a tip-off mounted surveillance on a Mercedes Benz truck
with registration number GT 3359 Z from Kumasi.
DSP Frimpong said the police team intercepted the vehicle at
Nsawam and a search on the truck uncovered 399 parcels of
substances suspected to be cocaine concealed in an
artificially created compartment.
The driver and the two others on board the truck were
arrested.
They are assisting the police in their investigations.
