Music producer Sam Sarfo Kantanka has been sentenced to ten years in jail after admitting to an Accra Fast Track high court to trafficking drugs.

In April,music producer, Safo Kantanka, was arrested as he tried going through departure formalities at the Kotoka International Airport(KIA), after it was detected that he had swallowed the stuff.

Safo Kantanka is reported to have swallowed 96 thumb-sized pellets of cocaine, which he claimed was given to him at Ashongman Estates in Accra by someone whose identity he failed to disclose.

Mr Kantanka was busted while going through departure formalities to board a British Airways Airline.

He was picked up on suspicion that he had swallowed narcotic drugs.

The tested substance proved to be cocaine weighing 1.1 kilograms.

Mr Kantanka had told the court there was no need to remand him because he was guilty and would not like to waste the court's time.
