Investigations conducted by international online media, source reveals that plans are far underway by President John Dramani Mahama to order the release of woman convicted in the United Kingdom for drug peddling, Nayeli Ametefe from UK prison.
According to the report, President Mahama has, in an emergency closed door meeting, ordered Ghana’s high commissioner in the UK, Victor Smith to secure on behalf of the president, the drug peddler’s release. Although government is reported to be highly reticent on her release, President Mahama – the report indicates- will be considering making use of the prisoner exchange arrangements with the UK Home Office to embark on what political experts could describe a suicidal mission.
“This is believed to be a calculated move by President Mahama to take advantage of a bilateral exchange of prisoners agreement between Ghana and the United Kingdom, which has been fallow due to lack of cooperation of data on the Ghanaian side of the agreement for the convicted criminal to serve the rest of her 8 years and 4 months jail sentence in Ghana.” the investigative report indicated.
