According to airport police public relations officer, Sapulain Lee Chitonde, the woman identified as Sally Adarkwa was caught with the drug called Apomorphine on Thursday.

She came into the country four days ago. She was found attempting to export Apomorphine drug weighing 5.2 Kgs concealed in her bags.

“Sally was expected to board a South African Airways on her way to Accra Ghana and upon arrival at her first Police check , officers manning the X-ray machine observed some strange contents which were exposed by the machine and immediately they demanded for a physical search of her bags which she refused but later Police managed to do their Professional work,” Chitonde said.

“This time it’s when they physically found 5.2 Kilograms of Apomorphine drug concealed in special papers to beat KIA Security.”

Adarkwa was arrested on spot and she is in police custody pending further investigations.

The woman will appear before court where she will answer charges of being found in possession of the dangerous drug which contravenes regulation 14 of Dangerous Drugs as read with Section 19 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act.

Police records indicate that  Adarkwa was born on November 13, 1974 and holds a Ghanaian Passport Number G1602389.

Her arrest comes barely hours after police also arrested a Nigerian national who was found with prohibited drugs at the airport.

The Director of Airport Police Securities Mavuto T. Chiumbuzo has since warned would be offenders that KIA remains a no go zone for drug traffickers.
