Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Ms. Hannah Tetteh has hinted that a Ghanaian businessman has been named in the infamous Nayele Ametefeh cocaine brouhaha.

According to her, the businessman (name withheld) assisted Ms Ametefeh through a telephone call he made to the VVIP lounge of the Kotoka International Airport, requesting that the suspect be given a preferential treatment to board the plane.

The Minister also stated emphatically that her outfit has not authorized the issuance of a Diplomatic passport to Ms. Nayele Ametefeh.

Ms. Nayele Ametefeh, alias Ruby Adu Gyamfi, alias Angel, was recently arrested at the Heathrow International Airport- London- on November 10, 2014 carrying 12.5 kilogrammes of substance confirmed to be cocaine.

Media reports after her arrest suggested that Ms. Ametefeh travelled to London on a Ghanaian Diplomatic passport.

It further linked the drug suspect to the first family thereby, alleging that the suspect was assisted at the Kotoka International Airport by persons close to the President.

The government communication machinery led by the Minister of Communications, Dr. Omane Boamah, subsequently rebuffed the claims stating that the suspect travelled to London on an Austrian passport.
