A former Narcotics Control Board Executive Secretary Akrasi Sarpong has revealed that convicted drug dealer Nayele Ametefe, until her arrest in the UK, was spending huge sums of money on car rentals.
Nayele while in Ghana was discovered to be hiring lavish cars like BMWs in Ghana on a daily basis at a great cost, a lifestyle which prompted officials of NACOB to closely monitor her.
According to him, Nayele’s ostentatious lifestyle raised the suspicions of NACOB officials who then placed her under close surveillance until her arrest in the United Kingdom.
Nayele Ametefe was arrested at Heathrow Airport in 2014 with 12kg of cocaine and has since been handed an eight-year jail term by the Isleworth Crown Court in the UK.
Speaking on UTV on Friday June 16, Mr Sarpong said: “In 2009, she was the first person we called for when I was at NACOB and she went underground. At that time in 2009, she was renting BMWs on a daily basis for a huge sum of money.”
He added: “She is a smart girl. Anybody who does this type of work, the person’s IQ is very high, they are very smart.
“I am not saying we should pursue her alone, it is a network she worked with and the network that sponsored her is still in Ghana.”
