The British High Commission in Accra would not seek the extradition of two British teenage girls arrested in Accra with cocaine to London for trial.The two girls, 16 years each, are in police custody, awaiting trial after they were arrested at the Kotoka International Airport on July 2, carrying laptop cases stuffed with six kilograms of cocaine on their way to board a British Airways flight to Heathrow, London."We have no bi-lateral agreement with Ghana for the transfer of British criminals to London for trial. When you commit a crime in Ghana you have to face the legal system of Ghana no matter your nationality," Mr Gary Nicholls, Second Secretary, Political, Press and Public Affairs of the High Commission said.They have been charged with illegal possession and attempting to export drugs and if convicted, they face at least 10 years in juvenile detention.Mr Nichols said the High Commission had confidence in the Ghanaian legal system and would therefore not interfere in the girls' case.He said however that, the High Commission is mandated to provide assistance to British citizens arrested outside the United Kingdom in terms of welfare, counselling and also facilitate contact with families or next of kin.He said: "In that regard, we have been providing the girls with food, clothes, fruits and magazines since their arrest.""We are also mandated to give them a list of local lawyers to choose from and when they do, we would ensure that the lawyers would explain the implications of the case to them to give them a good understanding of the situation they are in," Mr. Nicholls said.Source: GNA
