NKONKONSA.com has gathered that a female staff of theNarcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Ghanaian agency under the Ministry of Interior responsible for dealing with the incidence of illicit drug trafficking in the country stationed at KIA, has been arrested and locked up for aiding in the smuggling of cocaine at the Brussels Airport in Belgium.
Our source, theheraldghana.com reports that Proeger Delgey Bianca was found to have concealed the cocaine around her waist, ingeniously disguised it as undergarments, and used adhesive tape to secure the drugs down to her thighs, to her buttocks, portraying her as a woman with heavy butt.
The development sheds light on the intricate web of complicity behind the illicit operation, involving officials of Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) and NACOC among others stationed at KIA, facilitating the trafficking of contraband goods.
She managed to evade security checks with the assistance of the NACOC staff member, who escorted her through the Central Screening Area without undergoing the necessary protocols.
She wore a long flowing dress which covered her whole body down to her legs. Several videos of the incident showed the NACOC staff helping Bianca with her luggage through the Central Screening Area of KIA on the date of her departure to Belgium, skipping the various security checks except for her luggage which was scanned.
She carried a bowl-like object which looked like a big calabash, and did not go through the rigorous body search before boarding the Moroccan national carrier, Royal Air Maroc, on March 23, 2024.
In one of the videos available to The Herald, a man believed to be a senior officer identified as Eric Nartey Yeboah, also known as “Chairman Dollar,” was seen engaging some of the Aviation Security Personnel, thus distracting them from paying attention to Proeger Delgey Bianca’s presence and that NACOC official.
Eric Nartey Yeboah, whom the GACL has since interdicted together with some other staff implicated in the cocaine smuggling incident, was not officially on duty during the night of the smuggling incident.
However, his presence at the airport at 3 am during the critical period, and his suspicious behaviour, raised eyebrows.
The 55-year-old Proeger Delgey Bianca spent only five days in Ghana. She arrived on the 18th of March 2024 and was on her way out on the 23rd of March 2024, using a Netherlands passport numbered NN6C16RB1.
Proeger Delgey Bianca, a female, who is Dutch national, was apprehended at Brussels Airport with eight and a half (8.5) kilograms of suspected cocaine, allegedly transported through KIA on the mentioned date.
A statement by the GACL said it has interdicted all staff implicated in the recent cocaine smuggling incident at the Kotoka International Airport.
Management wishes to assure the general public of its commitment and determination, in collaboration with stakeholders to ensure that operations at the airport are safe and secure.
The statement said “The attention of the Board and Management of GACL has been drawn to the Herald publication dated Wednesday, April 10, 2024, with the above headline.
“Management notes that investigations by relevant authorities into the alleged smuggling of 8.5 kilograms of substance suspected to be cocaine through Kotoka International Airport on March 23, 2024, are ongoing.
“The Board and Management, in line with GACL’s internal administrative processes, has taken swift measures to interdict all GACL staff relevant to the investigation.
“Management has also reiterated its warning to staff regarding the facilitation of passengers at the airport, failing which punitive measures not limited to but including summary dismissals and prosecutions by the State will be effected in line with existing protocols.
