A former Deputy Director Board control of Narcotics (NACOB), Mr. Ben Ndego has an exception at being referred to the information, especially by the editor in Chief of the new guide of crusading, Malik Kweku Baako NACOB had an advance four intelligence report days a vessel approaching, Benjamin MV, who had 77 plots of cocaine on board, however, has not acted quickly to the information.
It therefore warned journalist seasoned to stop extinguish this blatant falsehood or likely to be exposed.
April 26, 2006, MV Benjamin anchored in breakwater Tema plots 77 of cocaine. However, 76 plots were unloaded in two canoes landed Kpone, beach in the greater Accra region.
Mr. Baako supporting empirical evidence indicating that the Navy and AirForce were informed of the presence of the ship on April 25, same NACOB informed the ship, April 21, 2006.
It will be recalled that in May 2006, Mr. Ndego was asked to conduct an indefinite leave after the disappearance of 5 kilos of cocaine at the NACOB Office to Benjamin MV cocaine scandal. Mr. Ndego was ordered to move forward on leave at the sides of his boss, col (ret'd) Akuoku administration Kufuor.
A clearly angry Ben Ndego called joy FM news analysis program, Newsfile Saturday, showed that even if a Committee established to consider the question of missing cocaine, 5kilos and others implicated have not had the opportunity to submit its conclusions.
"I appeared before this Committee and we learned the Committee submits its report in four days and we had always waited to see this Committee report…, but unfortunately, we have never seen the report; We have never said how surveys have been conducted, we have never said how drugs have lost, "he said."
According to him, despite to cooperate with the Committee in writing a statement and the granting of bail, yet informed person on anything whatsoever. "we have people like Kweku Baako from giving their kind information radio station radio station." "If it came from Government circles, nobody knew,", he added.
Touching on the case of MV Benjamin, ex-NACOB operations boss was of the opinion that Mr. Baako spoke ill-informed position when he (Baako) stated that during four days, kept NACOB hold reports information on cocaine aboard the ship.
"I am very shocked by this thing." "I don't know where Kweku obtained, I just don't know where Kweku obtained," said Mr. Ndego.
But the unique GJA journalist of the year stood his reasons now that the information was credible.
"It is contained in the conclusions of the Commission of Georgina wood." Two, Mr. Francis Poku, a former Minister of national security in a Rejoinder confirmed effectively reply to a publication which did inform him, has confirmed that it. And it is a fact! ", he said. Maintained reiterated recapped re-echoed
Mr. Baako more went on to explain that "all air force and Navy who had appeared before Georgina Timber Committee officers indicated that it was the 25th April that they have obtained the information, in the meantime NACOB, have information on 21 April"
"It's documented." A copy of the report is here. "I am not his manufacturing", he added.
But the Narcotics Control agent replied that an experienced journalist did not understand.
April 21, you're referring to, all those things you don't understand. Intelligence, nobody does information to give you. It is a continuous process that we are doing…The records are in the control of narcotic drugs, they can make the computer and tell you when the information has been sent by the mail…Let me tell you, the officer of the Navy who appeared before the Committee on timber Georgina Takoradi;. It was a very low ranking, it has been confirmed.
Mr. Ndego rhetorically asked Mr. Baako, if he thinks that "Narcotics Control Board would go and discuss their operations with low ranking officers knowing the military set up?
Clearly unenthused, former Director Deputy of NACOB, who pointed out that there are so many things, he kept quite more because he does not want to cause problems, however, cautioned Mr. Baako that "If you continue this lie, I think the platform will one day and everyone knows what happened", he warned.
"It's an empty threat," Mr. Baako braved.
"I have more things on the Ndego I can put also public." In fact, I brought some here. complaints against the conduct of operations at Kotoka international airport by an official of the CEPS much much earlier. "I have this right now… here", he added.
According to him, what he said is contained in the recommendations of the Committee Georgina Wood report. Support, his point of view, Mr. Baako read portions of his presentation on Ndego recommendations.
“…Nevertheless, the Committee considers that although NACOB has alerted on 21 April 2006, it was on April 25, 2006, by the assertion of the Navy that their assistance was requested. The Committee considers therefore seems NACOB delayed by informing the Navy and Airforce that help will be needed. Isn't Kweku Baako, making anything whatsoever. This is a fact of conclusions by the Committee, after that he had interacted with people in the marine and aviation! If I've not produced anything. If he disputed this, it is not in competition with me. In all cases does it appear before the Commission? "It is not he testify before the Committee?"was requested.
But Mr. Ndego was adamant that although it appeared before the Committee, it was "not given any opportunity to challenge any findings."
