Malian arrested for attempting to smuggle narcotics

A 32-year old Malian, Sissoko Mamady, was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday night for attempting to smuggle into the country suspected narcotic drugs.

A source close to the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS) told newsmen that Mamady arrived on a KLM flight and his passport indicated he had visited a drug producing area.

Mamady was taken to the Police Hospital where an X' Ray examination showed oval-shaped pellets suspected to be cocaine, in his stomach.

He has not expelled any of the pellets yet.
