Security analyst Kwesi Aning is yet to be convinced Ghana is no longer a hub for international drug trade. A United Nations report released last year lifted the tag of drug coast hanging around the neck of Ghana, citing the decrease in the last 18 months, of drug related activities in the country. Speaking to Joy News, Dr. Kwesi Aning said the UN agency drew “hasty conclusions” in its report. His criticisms of the report come just a day after 125kilogramms of substances believed to be cocaine were intercepted by the personnel of the Narcotic Board and the security at the Tema Harbour on Monday. Instead of “jubilating” over the report, Dr. Aning said the country must adopt superior strategies to unravel the ploys being used by the drug cartels. According to him, the seeming inactivity by the cartels in the country over the past few months may not necessarily be an end to the drug trade in the country. Rather, the dealers could be engaging in a deliberate strategy to divert government’s attention from their activities. He warned the drug situation might take a turn for the worse and assume the form of terrorism if the country is not vigilant. He cited the arrest of three Malians of Al Qaeda origins in Ghana who were alleged to be peddling cocaine. Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
