Ten officers of the Narcotics Control Board alleged to have aided a drug dealers in their trade in Ghana and other countries have been remanded again into prison custody.The officers who have already pleaded not guilty to two counts of abetment of importation and abetment of exportation of narcotic drugs were refused bail though their counsel prayed the court to grant them bail due to the failure of prosecution to provide enough charges and evidence.DSP A. Derry had prayed the court to allow two weeks’ adjournment to help the prosecution further their investigation.Some of the defense lawyers including Kwame Akuffo and Ellis Owusu Fordjuor urged the court to dismiss the plea because the principal suspect, Edward Marcauley had not been charged.The suspects are Fatimatu Abdulai, Dennis Adutwum, Yakubu Issaka, Timothy Aboloimpo, Abubakar Nallah, Peter Asong, Mutawu Kilu Yahaya Iddi, Jerry John Abbiw, Nana Zamsah Evrah and Eric Darko Akuffo.They are alleged to have committed the offences between 2009 and 2011 in Accra where they abetted various persons to import and export cocaine.Justice Eric Kyei-Bafuor, presiding, remanded the suspects to re-appear on September 16.He also urged the defense to make their bail application formal.The court had previously been told that sometime in July, this year, a narcotic drug suspect, Edward Marcauley who had been on the wanted list of the US security agents for sometime, was arrested at Dansoman in Accra.During investigations, text messages purported to have been received from Fatimatu Abdulai, a NACOB operative, were found on the mobile phone of the said suspect.The text messages, according to the prosecution, pointed to the fact that Fatimatu Abdulai of the procurement unit of NACOB had, together with other NACOB officials, been aiding and abetting suspect Edward Marcauley and others to import and export narcotic drugs through the Kotoka International Airport.The prosecutor said Fatimatu was immediately arrested and during interrogation, she admitted the act and mentioned some NACOB officers and personnel of other security agencies as accomplices who had compromised their positions to allow drug couriers safe passage and in return received various sums of money from the drug dealers.
