The two appeared at the juvenile court in Accra on Thursday to face charges of illegal possession of narcotic substances and attempted exportation banned substances.
Details of the brief, in-camera hearing, including the girls’ pleas, were not disclosed.
However an apparently angry press photographers stormed the court premises to train their lenses for shots of the two girls, both 16 years old.
