Pursue drug kingpins, not persecute political opponents – Afenyo-Markin tells EOCO
In a statement on Thursday, October 1, the Effutu MP questioned what he described as a disproportionate focus on the investigation into Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, even as major narcotics cases linked to Ghana continue to emerge.
The Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has challenged the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to intensify efforts to identify and prosecute the financiers and organisers behind Ghana-linked drug trafficking networks.
The Minority Leader referenced a JoyNews Research report which found that Ghana had recorded 11 cocaine cases in 28 drug busts since March 2025, with seizures linked to the country estimated to have a street value of between US$1.
