A Fast Track High Court on Tuesday ordered the Ghana Standard Authority (GSA) to expedite action on the report on 372 bottles substances suspected to be cocaine with the street value of $12 million seized recently from two Nigerians.

The order came after prosecution had told the court that they had not received the results on drugs from the GSA.

According to Mr Asiamah Sampong, Principal State Attorney, they were waiting for a confirmation of the field test conducted on the substance and pleaded with court for time.

Emmanuel Effah Annor, counsel for Eke, expressed concern over the slow pace at which the trial was going adding his client had a serious medical condition and prayed the court to order prosecution to fast- track their processes.

Mr Annor also prayed the Narcotic Control Board (NACOB) to speed up their investigations so that the trial could start.

James Ekeke Chukwu and Sammy Ikechekwu Benjy, both businessmen, are being held for engaging in criminal conspiracy and importation of narcotics without authority.

Eke was additionally charged for possessing 62 boxes containing 372 bottles of liquid substance suspected to be cocaine.

The court presided over by Justice Mustapha Habib Logoh is yet to take their pleas. They have been remanded till March 26.
