...... And Alhaji Wept, Nayele cocaine saga: Alhaji Dawood weeps in court



Businessman Alhaji Dawood Mohammed, who is facing prosecution for his alleged involvement in helping Nayele Ametefe to transport cocaine to the UK wept when he appeared in court on Thursday.
Alhaji Dawood Mohammed denied reports by the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) that he was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport last Sunday upon his arrival from Nigeria. He told the court that he presented himself to the BNI, escorted by his lawyer. Alhaji Dawood was arrested for aiding Nayele Ametefe and her two friends to use the VIP lounge at the Kotoka International Airport(KIA) in Accra, to transport cocaine weighing about 12 kilograms into the UK. According to earlier reports, he called officials at the airport to allow Nayele Ametefe and the other women, easy passage into the plane.
Alhaji Dawood who appeared before the Accra court has been charged with abetting crime. Citi News reporter, Fred Djabanor who was in court reported that “Alhaji Dawood was in tears but his lawyer, Addo Tuah calmed him down.” He said the court dismissed an application for bail pushed by the lawyer of Alhaji Dawood. The court has adjourned the case to December 8 for further hearing. So far twelve persons have been also arrested  in Ghana in connection with cocaine bust. Meanwhile, Nayele Ametefeh has pleaded guilty to charges proffered against her during her trail in a UK court. -
