A Ghanaian socialite named Nayele Ametefe also known as Ruby
Adu-Gyamfi, who is said to be very highly placed in Ghana was arrested
at Heathrow Airport, London on November 10th for drug trafficking.
Nayele
was arrested shortly after arriving on a flight from Accra, Ghana,
carrying 12 kilograms of cocaine worth £3.5million ($5 million) and £6,
063 cash. She was also reported to have been in possession of multiple
passports including a Ghanaian passport and an Austrian passport.
She was charged to court the following
day for attempting to import a class A drug. She was however remanded
in custody until her next appearance at Isleworth Crown Court which is on Thursday, 27th November.
