A
leading member of the comity of braggarts and Member of Parliament for
Assin Central in the Central Region has exposed his own party, the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), over its dealing with a drug baron.
Mr.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong Wednesday morning told the listeners of
Accra-based radio station, Adom FM, that Mr. David Kwadwo Anim, the
owner of the plush Le Baron Hotel at East Legon, in Accra, who has been
arrested in the United Kingdom over illicit drug related issues, gave
the NPP 100 motorbikes.
He said that Mr. Anim provided the party
with 100 ‘Patriotic Bikes’ but denied that the alleged drug dealer doled
out two $2million to his party.
Mr. Agyapong confirmed again that Mr. Anim is his friend and would never deny that.
“I usually go to his hotel to relax and cool off because of the traffic situation to Tema,” he said.
He added: “There is a good Pizza at the hotel that I really enjoy.”
Mr.
Agyapong, who spoke on a wide range of issues, as usual, was in his
best elements when he claimed that he could change Ghana should
Ghanaians plead with him to lead the country for few months.
When
he was asked by the host of the ‘Dwaso Nsem’ programme, Captain Smart,
to join the NPP race for the 2016 flagbearership of the party, he said
that the way of campaigning within the NPP was simply nauseating.
According
to him, the NPP was not doing things right and that the tension between
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Mr. Alan Kyerematen was too much.
Mr.
Agyapong, popularly known as ‘Akompreko,’ went on to attack certain
personalities, including Madam Akua Donor, whom he accused of visa
fraud.
How Anim’s was reported
Two Ghanaians, including
the owner of Le Baron Hotel at East Legon in Accra, David Kwadwo Anim,
have been busted at the Heathrow Airport in London for alleged drug
trafficking and money laundering.
The other suspect is Kofi Antwi Nkansah, a businessman.
They were arrested by the London Metropolitan Police.
Anim
has been described by the security agencies as the leader within the
drug trafficking organisation responsible for co-ordinating the
transportation of large quantities of cocaine and heroin around the
world.
Major Drug Gangs
He is also alleged to have serious ties with major drug gangs in Europe, South America and the United States of America.
The
two suspects were said to have delivered 500 kilograms of heroin to
undercover drug enforcement officials on January 22, 2014 without any
incident.
Provisional Arrest Warrant
Briefing the Daily
Graphic in Accra Monday, the Deputy Executive Secretary of the Narcotics
Control Board (NACOB), Nii Lante Blankson, said the arrest was in
pursuant to a provisional arrest warrant issued by the United States for
the arrest of the two Ghanaians and a Nigerian.
According to
him, Anim, Nkansah and Adjayi Akpo, the Nigerian, had each been indicted
and charged in the Southern District Court of New York for the
violation of united States Drug Enforcement laws.
He said Adjayi was, however, on the run but said an intensive search had been mounted for his arrest.
Nii
Blankson said since 2012, the NACOB, in collaboration with its foreign
counterparts, had been conducting a joint operation on Anim.
The Arrests
He
said Anim had been able to escape arrest until April 26, 2014 when he
was busted at the Heathrow Airport while going through arrival
formalities.
Nii Blankson indicated that the following day, April
27, 2014, Nkansah was also arrested on arrival at Heathrow from one of
the Asian countries.
He said the two suspects were to be extradited from the United Kingdom to the Unites States to face trial.
