“47kg of Cocaine Seized in Beirut” – Abena Osei-Asare Demands Answers From Mahama’s Government

According to a report by The1957News on Sunday, November 1, 2026, Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, Abena Osei-Asare, has raised concerns over the repeated seizure of suspected cocaine linked to Ghana, questioning how many more incidents must occur before the government provides clear answers to Ghanaians.

The latest incident involves the seizure of approximately 47 kilograms of suspected cocaine in Beirut, Lebanon. The development has once again drawn attention to concerns about Ghana’s possible connection to international drug trafficking activities.

Reacting to the development, Abena Osei-Asare expressed concern about the growing number of drug-related incidents involving individuals arriving from Ghana. She questioned why the government had not provided sufficient explanations to address the concerns surrounding these repeated seizures.

The Atiwa East MP believes Ghanaians deserve to know how illegal substances continue to be linked to the country and what measures are being taken to prevent Ghana from becoming a transit point for international drug trafficking networks.

Her comments come at a time when another suspected cocaine seizure involving a traveller from Ghana has attracted public attention. The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of security checks at Ghana’s entry and exit points, as well as the work of agencies responsible for fighting drug trafficking.

Abena Osei-Asare’s statement has also added to calls for greater transparency and accountability from the government. She believes the authorities must take the concerns seriously and provide information about the circumstances surrounding the reported seizures.

The issue has become a matter of national interest because of its potential impact on Ghana’s international reputation and the confidence other countries have in the country’s security systems.

Many Ghanaians will be expecting the relevant authorities to investigate the incidents, establish the facts and explain the steps being taken to prevent similar occurrences.

The government is therefore facing renewed calls to provide answers and demonstrate its commitment to fighting international drug trafficking.
