The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Henry Nana Boakye is demanding a full public account of the financiers and organisers behind drug trafficking cases and large consignments allegedly linked to Ghana.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Mr Boakye popularly known as Nana B said investigations must move beyond the arrest and public presentation of low-level suspects to uncover the networks financing and organising the alleged trafficking operations.
There must be, “A full public account of the financiers and organisers behind every one of these twelve unfortunate embarrassing incidents. Not merely the low-level suspect paraded before the cameras,” he said.
Mr Boakye called for what he described as a transparent investigation into the series of drug seizures and interceptions, including cases involving Ghana-linked consignments intercepted outside the country.
He said the repeated incidents raised questions about who was behind the movement of the drugs and how the consignments were able to pass through Ghana’s ports, airports and borders.
“A transparent probe,” he demanded.
Mr Boakye also alleged that the problem could involve more than individuals transporting narcotics, claiming that drug traffickers had established clandestine facilities in Ghana to process drugs before they were moved out of the country.

“The intelligence we have picked is that, these drug lords, these traffickers, they have established bases, laboratories here for processing of illicit drugs and narcotics under the watch of President Mahama,” he alleged.
He further claimed that some government officials were facilitating the movement of narcotics out of Ghana.
“They have laboratories right here in Ghana, clandestine laboratories where illicit drugs, cocaine, are being processed, and government officials aiding the smooth transit of these drugs outside of this jurisdiction,” he said.
Mr Boakye said the government must establish who finances the alleged operations, who organises them and how the networks gain access to Ghana’s legitimate trade and transportation channels.
He said identifying only individuals caught transporting drugs would not address the wider structure behind the alleged trafficking.
“The world is watching, our partners are watching, and Ghanaians are watching,” he said.
Mr Boakye therefore called for investigations capable of tracing the alleged networks to their financiers and organisers, alongside accountability for any officials found to have compromised Ghana’s ports, airports or borders
