Habib Iddrisu and nine other members of Ghana's ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have filed a motion calling for a parliamentary inquiry into drug seizures connected to Ghana, Modern Ghana reports. The motion was reported on Monday, September 28, 2026.
According to Modern Ghana, the request seeks a formal legislative examination of the seizures. The report does not specify which seizures are at issue, where they took place, or what quantities of drugs were involved.
The move comes amid broader concern in Ghana over drug trafficking. Vatican News reports that the country's Catholic bishops have called for action against the drug menace, while Agenzia Fides reports the bishops warning that Ghana is becoming a cocaine hub.
The issue has also drawn political friction. GhanaWeb reports that an operative of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called for the arrest of Nana Boakye over claims related to a drug lab. That report, like the others, does not provide details on the underlying allegations.
What to watch next: whether parliamentary leadership accepts the motion and whether it leads to a formal inquiry.
