was arrested at the Heathrow airport <\/a><\/strong><\/span>in the UK for carrying about 12kg of cocaine in her hand luggage.<\/p>\nEarlier reports said the lady carried a diplomatic passport but Government has vehemently denied that claim.<\/p>\n
The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) in a press release signed by the Deputy Executive Secretary, Richard Nii Lante Blankson, said, \u201cit is worthy to note that Ms. Nayele Ametefe travelled on an Austrian passport number P4187659 and not on Ghanaian Diplomatic passport as being speculated. She also had in her possession an ordinary Ghanaian passport number G0364497 issued on 3rd August, 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”7jeZDjjB5SD8GMD02rgw7TKjebF1GgPo”]NACOB said that the Board helped security agencies in the UK to arrest Ms. Ametefe but the Communications Minister has emphatically said he doubts NACOB had any hand in the arrest of the woman.<\/p>\n
The Minister added that “If at any point in time, there is any shred of evidence and we can be held that she had a diplomatic passport, why not… at this stage there nothing that shows that she had a diplomatic passport.”<\/p>\n
Dr. Omane Boamah also revealed that they had tracked the travel history of the lady and said: \u201cYou have just looked at two aspects of the sources. There is a third aspect which I mentioned which is what corroborates what the Director of Passport said… I made mention of the two passports that the lady has been travelling on. A traveller history report and that corroborates what the Director of Passport indicated.\u201d<\/p>\n
An Austrian newspaper has revealed that\u00a0 Nayele Ametefeh traveled with a number of passports including a Ghanaian, Austrian, and European Union passports.<\/p>\n
