A 28–year old Ghanaian lady is to face the death penalty if convicted for allegedly possessing narcotic drugs in Singapore.
The suspect, Nana Boadiwaa Ahenkora, was said to have hidden 2.8 kilogramme of crystal methamphetamine in 12 lead piston nylon bags popularly called 'Ghana-must-go'.
She was arrested by the Central Narcotic Bureau of Singapore at the Changi Airport with the drugs.
A source at the Narcotic Control Board who revealed this to the Ghanaian Times in Accra Thursday, said Boadiwaa had been charged with drug trafficking, following her arrest on May 21.
