It sounds incredible, but it is true! Newsmen can reveal today that, before the cocaine scandal broke out, leading to the arrest of some suspected cocaine dealers and the disappearance of others, barons of the whitish substance were in charge of this country, in terms of some matters that are dear to the hearts of men. These barons of the “white gold”, especially the young ones, knew no bounds or barriers so far as bedding those of the fairer sex was concerned.

With their overwhelming wealth, no woman could close the door in their faces. Indeed, they had access to them all – old, young, rich, poor, married, single, desperate, widowed, frigid, horny, literate, illiterate.

Unfortunately, however, three of Ghana’s richest men – magnates in their chosen fields, one is in the transport industry, another in the oil business – fell casualties to the licentious activities of these young men.

Being younger than their husbands, these women’s hunger for money seemed insatiable. One of these rich men (name withheld) in his late sixties, had a hell of a time steadying his nerves and controlling his blood pressure when he got to know that his young beautiful wife – less than 45 years (and name withheld now)-had a pretty good time in far away China, with one of these young drug barons, who could easily pass for his son.

As a way of deodorising their illicit wealth, most of thee drug barons allegedly engage in “buy and sell” businesses as well as others, between Ghana and abroad.

And this drug baron (name withheld for now), not conversant with the Chinese market, asked this rich man’s wife to introduce him to that market. The result of this venture (recorded) which ended under the sheets of a bed in a hotel in far away China, is unprintable here. At the end of it all, the rich man’s wife was richer by $100,000. This man, (rich man) unable to bear the disgrace inflicted on him, was allegedly driven to contemplate causing the elimination of the drug baron, but was restrained.

His aching heart was, however, assuaged when he learnt from two of his rich friends that the same fate had befallen them. Their ‘properties’ – wives – were “encroached upon” by these marauding drug barons.The story goes that, one of these drug barons had made his presence felt on Legon campus – University of Ghana.
