Ten Ghanaians on board an Accra-New York flight of Delta Airlines were arrested last month at JFK Airport, USA, for drug-related offences. Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) sources said they are assisting the US security authorities in their investigations.
The Executive Secretary of NACOB, Yaw Akrasi-Sarpong, who spoke to the Times newspaper in Accra on Tuesday, on the arrest, blamed officials of Debill Security Services, a US security agency that provides inflight security, for allegedly preventing NACOB officials at the Kotoka International Airport from conducting a search on the passengers as well as their luggage.
