Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Blay Nyameke Armah, has rejected allegations that connect him to a $350 million cocaine bust.

The lawyer, who is also an MP, firmly denied any involvement in drug trafficking activities.

In an interview on Oyerepa TV on April 8, 2025, he expressed disbelief at the claims, and called the accusations both false and damaging to his reputation.

He has however threathened a lawsuit stating that he has never seen cocaine in his entire life.

“For me, Lawyer Blay Armah, all the allegations being peddled against me, I have no hand in them. The next thing is that they will hear from my lawyers,” he said.

He added, “It’s on Twitter and all-over social media. But as I’m saying, in my entire life, I have never seen cocaine before. And the amount of money they’re mentioning, if I had that kind of money, would I still be here? I would have bought an island somewhere.”

Armah's response comes after Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee, claimed that a Parliamentary Candidate from the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is linked to the recent drug bust, valued at around $350 million.

Some have accused Armah of being the person involved.

Speaking during an interview on Channel One Newsroom, Rev Fordjour stated, “It was an NDC parliamentary candidate who owns that $150 million portion of the cocaine.

So, when we bring these exposés, it is expected that the NDC will feel frustrated and come at me personally. But I am not perturbed.”

The controversy began after a major drug bust by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in March 2025. Authorities intercepted 3,319.66 kilograms (3.3 tonnes) of substances believed to be cocaine, with an estimated street value of $350 million.

The drugs were cleverly hidden in sacks and bags, buried under heaps of sand in a tipper truck, likely to avoid detection.

Armah has promised to take legal action against those spreading what he calls false and harmful rumors.
