I Was Detained In Germany For Alleged Drug Smuggling – Ernest Opoku
Celebrated Ghanaian Gospel musician Ernest Opoku has revealed how he was detained at an airport in Germany over alleged smuggling of hard drugs.
“I Remember I was traveling to Germany and when I got to their Airport, I was told there was footwear (long boot) they suspect had some hidden items in it.
It was my own luggage which I packed myself.
They told me there is a shoe in your bag and I said I have no idea about it.” Ernest Opoku narrated on Sompa FM in Kumasi in an interview
He disclosed how one of the officers opened his luggage and took out a shoe they suspected of having hard drugs hidden in them.
“Eventually when they opened, there was a shoe, but surprisingly it wasn’t a pair So they detained me and cut the shoe into pieces and scanned it in their machine.
“Whiles I was singing the song, one of them who had come for his evening shift enquired about my problem and I told him they came for my luggage
He quickly entered the room, brought all my bags, and asked me to leave immediately because they were about to close.” Ernest Opoku recounted.
