Ghana is working under great Mahama and NDC government,
Drug barons do not fear the John Mahama govt,rhey feel they have their cronies within the ruling govt and can there4 do what they want.We beg John Dramani Mahama he shd lift up his game it's becoming an embarrassment.
Under a certain government, did you ever hear this? Not that elicit drug trade was not there, but the system just became inefficient and the gov't complicit.
The system under nana Pol Pot Addo was not just complicit but accomplice.
Some nations ignored this because they preferred these demons to rule over us.
Say no to islam and convert to a real religion. Search online for ways to move away from evil islam. You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe...you are not alone.
I thought the cultivation and export of cannabis was legalised under the previous regime. Someone should please refresh my memory.
In any case if the Whiteman needs the herb for any purpose, why shouldn't we cultivate and s ...

If we take politicians and politics out of very serious problem like drugs we will make a headway. The law should deal with them
This is not the 24 hour economy we voted for. Please stop the narcotics immediately
But we remember the Government that Cocaine turned into Tulcum Powder. Yes, and we know that a very prominent Paramount Chief was very much involved but was left off the hook. In Ghana, the problems with dealing with Controll ...

NDC and drugs lead by the drug lord Mahama himself.
Nobody was a bigger drug lord that kwashia kufour and his gang of hooligans. Nana the dwarf Akufo Addo was handed the drugs to continue. Mahama is busting all these crooks. Let's see which npp members has the balls to critici ...

@ mind
Ghana was never an island under Akuffo Addo govt,they could have been caught at their destination if Ghana was a transit point. Akuffo Addo as a Lawyer sent many into prisons and that created fear during his regime.
Please reverse the 24 hour economy lunch if what was meant was to create fertile process for narcotics
Obibini agyimi. How can a raw unprocessed plant be described as a drug? If there were to be none in Africa and abundant in Europe, would all this noise be heard? They would have promoted it and it would be described as the mo ...

@Mr. Smith, very very factual. We fool too much! No sense of direction and leadership. Something God given too we can't handle it. They should go and arrest God for putting it down there. Kwasiafuo!!!
If the drug barrons don't fear the NDC government they should be shaking in their boots. The former government npp idiots allowed them fee range, it will not happen under this government. They should all be arrested including ...

Hello youth of Ghana. You can take your own life with medicine......for instance 10 paracetamol at once.........or combine medicine and akpeteshie or weedicide.
These are all NPP drug barrons who've been operating for the past 8 years.
They say show me your friends and I will show you your character. Akuffo Addo b4 becoming President was seen as a very wicked person.This put fear in Drug dealers when he got power,JDM is a lousy person who rides expensive mo ...

Dealing in Drugs has been the Order of the Day since the time of Afrifa. Rawlings couldn’t stop it and it was enhanced by Mahama. All our Governments have been very Deeply involved in that nasty illegal business. How do you ...

THIS PROVES THAT NPP WAS ALL THE TIME DOING THIS BUSINESS. THERE IS A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT SO THEY CANT DO IT AGAIN
NII BODAMFO. YOUR NPP STOOGES ARE SUFFERING. .
It proves npp was protecting drug dealers
How can we report drug barons to the authorities when non of these people are ever jailed?. Even the manner in which these authorities handle informants are apauling.
Have you being mistreated for exposing a crime.
Bring it out, go to court or stop the jandam.
Oh NDC just seven months into office almost every two weeks drugs issues everywhere what’s going on, This is a very big disgrace for Ghana we’re losing respect in the world. Since NDC came to power drugs, Galamsey, missin ...

The dealers are caught right here in Ghana before they go and disgrace us abroad. Do you remember your MP who was busted in the US?
Oh poor Ghana Cannabis for shipment at Accra airport. I thought Shipment is done only through the harbour.
Eiii Ghana paaa di3 hmmm
These people are fools! Cannabis is easy to come by in the UK and has little street value. If you really want to do drug trade and risk your life, why not do so eying more profitable ? lol
Put the suspect name in Google you will see his face. Everybody will recognise him. If it's him
Last 8 years that corrupt greedy government never once stopped or caught these drug smugglers. Rather we saw people from no where who had no money with no business becoming extremely wealthy over night. Ghana is surely workin ...

This story was written by a good professional journalist. Excellent by all standards. Paragraph follow what who when and how
NDC members with low IQ de3! If Akuffo Addo's tenure was a drug hub, why didn't they arrest those dealers in their destination after passing through the security apparatus in Ghana.
Partisan Political dogs always defending
Nothing comes out of these accusations and arrests. Mark my word. Nobody will hear anything after this publication,
Under the current NDC administration , smuggling appears to have come back
Where did it go? Even NPP MPs like Amoateng and co were involved in it
Ghanaians won’t worry about their own citizens giving Ghanaweb bad names but they are busy talking about the harmless Igbo Chief.
How can a plant among the vegetation of the world be illegal? Then arrest God as Pablo de Escobar of the Earth
Dasooor. What is all this? Cigarette is in fine packet. Dumped on us by America and England. But their children like ntampe like salad
Stop Gademsay and clean up our waters. God will punish Gh police and there children. This is not what we want to hear.
Every major drug bust at the airport over the years is through swissport. Their operations need to be looked into and all loopholes sealed.
