The businessman Alhaji Dawood and five others suspected to have aided Nayele Ametefeh to transport cocaine to the UK have renewed their bail application after being refused in the first instance.
State prosecutors were due to open their case at an Accra Circuit Court Monday morning, but failed to show up in court hence the need for the lawyers of the accused to re-enforce the need for bail.
The accused persons include Nana Akua Amponsah and Sadalia Sandra Nuhu and three other officials of the Kotoka International Airport. They are facing charges for the role they played in aiding Ametefeh to transport 12kg of drugs.
The court presided over by Justice Francis Obiri at the last hearing refused bail for all the six accused persons.
Alhaji Dawood, the Development Manager of KELM Engineering, based in Kanda has been accused of facilitating Nayele’s access through the VIP section at the Kotoka International Airport.
The two other ladies were reported to have travelled with Ametefeh but absconded after she was arrested in UK.
