A Ghana International Airlines cabin crew member Kwaku Asante Ayirebi has been jailed eight years in London for attempting to smuggle drugs into the UK.
The 30-year-old Ghanaian was charged after cocaine with an estimated street value of ÂŁ98,000 was found in his luggage at the Gatwick Airport in July.
He pleaded guilty to importing cocaine into that country.
Officers from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) discovered the drugs, weighing about two kilos, in baggage that had arrived on a Ghana International Airways flight from Accra.
