The British High Commissioner to
Ghana Jon Benjamin has stated emphatically that Nayele Ametefe- the
Ghanaian lady who was arrested in the UK for drug trafficking- was not
holding a Ghanaian diplomatic passport.
The status of the
passport Ametefe traveled with has become a matter of major controversy
in Ghana following initial reports in the local media that she was
arrested at the Heathrow Airport with a Ghanaian diplomatic passport.
But
speaking at an event organised by policy think tank-IMANI Ghana-
Thursday, Benjamin said: "Let me state here and now that the lady in
question did not travel with a Ghanaian diplomatic passport”.
Ametefeh
appeared in the Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday and pleaded guilty to
the narcotics charges levelled against her and asked the Court to
sentence her on the same day. Sentencing has, however, been adjourned to
January 5, 2015.
