A 46-year-old Liberian woman was arrested by Narcotic Control Commission (NACOC) officers over the weekend for attempting to smuggle substances suspected to be cocaine out of Ghana through Accra’s Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

The suspect, Wolo Maikplay Margaret, currently in NACOC custody, was arrested while going through pre-transit formalities at KIA.

The Commission’s communications director, Mr Francis Opoku Amoah, who confirmed the arrest stated that, the suspect, who reportedly hid the 30 thumb-sized pellets of the drugs weighing 0.36 kilograms under her chest and private part, was arrested by NACOC officers at the KIA.

Mr Amaoh said an initial drug test showed positive for cocaine, adding that Margret was traveling with Asky Airline and passing through Ghana en route to Doha-Bangkok with Qatar Airline.

He said the suspect confessed to the crime during interrogation and claims she was contacted by Oratha, a Liberian resident in Monrovia, who sponsored her travel expenses to Thailand to deliver the drug to an unknown person in that country.

Mr Amoah said the cocaine seized would be forwarded to the Ghana Standard Authority for further investigation.

He said the commission remains resolute in its mandate to control smuggling of illegal drugs and will work with other government agencies to make drug trafficking unprofitable for people.
