A 26 year-old Kenyan woman, Ms Ivy Mugure Daniel, has been arraigned before an Accra High Court for allegedly trafficking in substances suspected to be narcotics drugs into the country. Ms Daniel who is currently in prison custody pending trial, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) on January 9, 2018 at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) whilst undergoing arrival formalities. The statement said the NACOB Officials having suspicions about the suspect conducted a search into the checked-in luggage of the accused. The statement said during the search a big parcel wrapped with a black polythene material containing an off-white powdery substance weighing 3kg was found. A test conducted by the Ghana Standards Authority on the substance proved positive to a mixture of cocaine and heroin with an estimated street value of $90,000.00.
