Some top drug barons and cartels are plotting to take control of the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) of Ghana, a security expert Adam Bonah has warned state security.

The cartels activities which will threaten the security of the country are planning on using their activities to turn Ghana into an illicit drugs hub, he added.

Mr Bonah, who was speaking on 3FM therefore urged the national security apparatus must to act swiftly before the barons succeed in their scheme to use the NACOB as a transit point for the distribution of illicit drugs to other parts of the world.

“If this place becomes a hub for onward transmission or distribution to other countries, what then happens is that part of it remains in the country and all of us will be finished,” he said.

“I’m calling on the National Security, the BNI, the police, the Minister of Interior and the powers that be to probably set up a committee to see to it that the bad guys who are within NACOB are gotten out,” he added.

As to when the “drug barons started paying their way” into NACOB, Mr. Bonah said they have been “there and trying” for a while now but he personally picked information “roughly two, three months ago”, noting the barons do not care which party is in power.
