Goodies` case adjourned
Loading ...An Accra circuit court on Thursday adjourned the case in which Isaac Abeiku Aidoo aka Goodies, a popular music producer, is being held for drug related offences, because his lawyers say he is indisposed.
Aidoo is suffering from malaria, the investigator in charge of the case told the court.
Aidoo, Chief Executive Officer of Goodies Music Production, whose plea is yet to be taken, has been remanded into police custody by the court.
He is facing charges of attempted exportation of 80 pellets of drugs suspected to be cocaine and possessing narcotic drug without lawful authority. Aidoo is to reappear on June 12.
The prosecution said on April 23, 2008, Aidoo arrived at the Kotoka International Airport at about 2245 hours to board a Ghana International Airlines flight to London.
The prosecution said while going through departure formalities, operatives of the Narcotic Control Board suspected Aidoo of carrying drugs in his stomach.
He was therefore escorted to the 37 Military Hospital where an x-ray revealed that he had some foreign materials in his stomach.
Aidoo was arrested and put under surveillance and he expelled 80 pellets of whitish substances suspected to be cocaine.
During police interrogation, Aidoo said one Abdul Haid, a musician residing at East Legon, Accra, gave the drugs to him to be delivered to one Willie for a fee of 3,000 dollars.
He, however, failed to lead the police to arrest the said Abdul.
Meanwhile the exhibit has since been sent to the Ghana Standards Board for examination.
