British ‘drug lord’ charged in Ghana March 14, 2014 David McDermott, the British national and in-law to the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, who was arrested in thebegin
country in connection with a plot to import £71 million worth of cocaine into the UK, has been arraigned for extradition processes to begin. Mr. McDermott, who has been on the run from UK authorities for some years now, and married to the step- daughter of the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Kofi Wampah, was charged with dealing in prohibited drugs. According to Ghanaian prosecutors at an Accra Circuit Court today [Monday], the fugitive, who was arrested in an international sting operation at his home in the Burma Hills area of Accra last week, is in possession of Ghanaian passport with the name David Smith and runs a mining company in the Eastern Region. They also told the court that investigations are still ongoing, as they expect additional information from their British counterparts to facilitate their investigations. The fugitive did not have any legal representation in court for the first hearing. The suspect is said to be a member of an organised crime syndicate from Liverpool, and he has been on the run for three-years after being part of a plot to import £71 million worth of cocaine into the UK. McDermott’s gang is believed to be responsible for the failed smuggling operation discovered by Border Force at Tilbury Docks in May 2013, when officers seized 400kg (881Ibs) of cocaine smuggled into the country in a container of frozen Argentinian beef. The case has been adjourned to the March 30, 2016.

Independence? Ghana is now 59 years old and yes, we should celebrate it. It is good to be an independent nation with the freedom to make our own choices. This is another opportunity to thank our founding men and women, all of them, for the sacrifices they made to launch this nation, Ghana. But we must know that we have a lot more work to do to become truly independent. The promise made at independence to prove that we are capable of managing our own affairs has not been kept.
