IMANI Africa Vice-President Kofi Bentil ESQ has disclosed a conspiracy at the airport allowing Ghana to become a transit hub for illicit drugs such as cocaine.

The IMANI veep, in a Facebook post, exposed a correspondence from a source that he claimed had contacted him providing the sequence of events pertaining to the cocaine bust at Beirut in Lebanon.

Sharing an account from the unidentified source, Kofi Bentil posted his source as saying "there is a grand conspiracy in respect of the cocaine seizure at the airport. The suitcases are driven to the tarmac and loaded directly into the airplane”.

The source, as quoted by Bentil, alleged that the narcotics conspirators comprise a particular cohort of various security agencies from Customs, NACOC, BNI, National Security, Police and Aviation Security.

This group, the source noted, are always “privy to this ops” and “will be on duty that day” to facilitate the movement of the drugs.

According to the account, "the goods will be sent to the tarmac directly without anyone asking questions. The TEAM at various points ensures the bags are loaded in special spaces on board”.

The source further claimed there is a code phrase they use stating "NNE WO NYAME NKO” which translates as “Go with your God".

“If all goes through every one is sorted big time aside the usual.”

The source further alleged the information put out into the public by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) that this was a controlled operation, to wit a collaboration between NACOC and the security authorities of Lebanon to apprehend the suspect is falsehood.

"NACOC is lying. The government is deeply involved”.

The post also claimed that after the arrest in Lebanon, Lebanese Customs contacted Ghana Customs and not NACOC.

On October 31, 2026, a Syrian national was arrested at Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut after arriving from Accra with about 40kg of suspected cocaine which Lebanese authorities described as 46.7kg. 

It was described as the largest passenger drug seizure in the airport's history.

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), in a statement on November 1, said the arrest resulted from a coordinated controlled delivery operation with Lebanese authorities aimed at apprehending suspects at both ends of the network.

The explanation has been questioned by security analysts and opposition figures who have asked why such a large quantity was allowed to leave Ghana if authorities had prior intelligence.

NACOC says it is pursuing accomplices in Ghana.
