NACOB arrests two Nigerians for attempting to traffic narcotics

The Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) has arrested two Nigerian nationals for attempting to traffic narcotics through the General Post Office in Accra. 

The suspects Theophilus Biney, alias Godwin Orji, 37 and Jeff Nnaana-K, 36, all residents in Ghana were picked up by officials of NACOB at different locations for their involvement in an attempt to traffic Methamphetamine to the Philippines. 

A statement issued by the board says Methamphetamine is a synthetic stimulant which is mainly used as a recreational drug and highly addictive and increases alertness, endurance and feelings of wellbeing of abusers. 

Its addictive nature causes the body temperature of the abuser to rise so high that he or she could pass out. It also causes severe itching. 

Methamphetamine has the high tendency of causing emotional and thinking anxieties. 

It said Theophilus Biney also known as Godwin Orji was apprehended after attempting to post parcels of stock fish, locally known as ‘Kako’, in which the narcotic drug had been hidden.

The total weight of the narcotic drug is 2.7 kilogrammes. 

Theophilus, on his arrest admitted ownership of the package and revealed that the parcels were given to him by Jeff Nnaana-K to be sent to one Victor, also a Nigerian resident in the Philippines. 

Nnaana-K also denied ownership of the consignment and mentioned one Offor based in Nigeria as the person who asked him to send it to Theophilus, for onward delivery to Victor. 

The two suspects have been arraigned before court pending further investigations.
