Reject ‘Cocaine Coast’ label through action, not words – Miracles Aboagye tells government

Mr Aboagye argued that the description was not based on cocaine seizures made by Ghanaian authorities but on the scale and frequency of consignments reportedly passing through Ghana before being intercepted in other countries.

In a Facebook post shared on Thursday, October 1, 2026, Mr Aboagye directed his remarks at government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, insisting that simply rejecting the description would not address the concerns arising from recent major drug trafficking cases linked to Ghana.“Ghana is now being named cocaine coast as a result of unprecedented, historic, large quantities of cocaine that passed through our ports right before the eyes of this government and security operatives and then eventually arrested on foreign lands.”
