The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB), is in a meeting over the alleged assault of a Nigerien suspect at the premises of the High Court in Accra on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The suspect, Halidu Moro, was first arrested at the Kotoka International Airport with $400,000 he was traveling with.<\/p>\n
The money was seized by the state, forcing\u00a0Moro to\u00a0file a suit challenging the seizure of his money.<\/p>\n
His application was granted and the court ordered the state to release his money back to him.<\/p>\n
Some officials of NACOB however arrested him outside the court after the ruling, and allegedly subjected him to severe beatings.<\/p>\n
The intervention of his lawyer, Afenyo Markin, and some family members, was not enough to stop the assault.<\/p>\n
Sources at NACOB have told\u00a0Citi News<\/strong> that the meeting will also discuss the reported arrest of some British and Ghanaians allegedly involved in a drug deal.<\/p>\n The Daily Telegraph last Monday reported that security personnel in the UK had arrested the suspects for exporting eight million pounds worth of cocaine from Ghana.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Franklin Badu Jnr\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB), is in a meeting over the alleged assault of a Nigerien suspect at the premises of the High Court in Accra on Wednesday.
