The Cover-Up: How I became a scapegoat in a Cocaine Scandal

Meer over het boek

During late 2005 and much of 2006, I became a headline in Ghanaian news due to allegations of bribing senior police officers in a cocaine scandal. This challenging period tested me, but I persevered and moved forward. Over the years, I contemplated documenting my side of the story, which was distorted due to a cover-up scheme that labeled me as an informant and made me a scapegoat. Now, I feel compelled to share my testimony, exercising my fundamental human rights. I hope my story encourages others facing struggles, reminding them that faith can lead to triumph. While some may deny aspects of my account, just as I have the right to share my truth, I also faced vilification and danger to protect the public images of powerful individuals. I narrowly escaped potential murder due to the informant label and could have faced a decade in prison for alleged narcotics involvement. Many innocent people suffer similar fates, imprisoned to shield the powerful. I share my experience to shed light on this injustice and to illustrate my evolution from my early years in Bongo to my life in Accra, providing context for how I became a scapegoat in this case.
