A member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) communications team, Akbar Yussif Rohullah Khomeini, has voiced deep concern over the surge in criminal activities across Ghana, just three months into the new administration’s tenure.
He pointed to recent drug busts and the growing menace of illegal mining as alarming trends that demand urgent attention.
Expressing his concerns on social media, he drew a stark analogy between the current situation and a nuclear crisis.
“In March alone, cocaine valued at 470 million dollars entered Ghana. The first arrest was on 4th March and the second was on 28th March. This is huge and scary.
“And it is even more worrying that a flight from an Island notorious for drug trade entered Ghana within the same period and it took the minority to prompt the nation.
“Cocaine mixed with galamsey and dumsor is equivalent to a nuclear warhead. We cannot afford to launch such a warhead on ourselves,” he stated.
His remarks reflect growing public unease over the government’s ability to combat drug trafficking, illegal mining (galamsey), and persistent power outages (dumsor). Many citizens are now looking to authorities for swift and decisive action to address these pressing issues before they spiral out of control.
