Isaac Abeiku Aidoo (Goodies) An Accra Circuit Court sitting on the cocaine trial of Isaac Abeiku Aidoo, popularly known as 'Goodies', has been informed by the police that the docket on the case had been handed over to the Attorney General's Department for perusal and prosecution.
According to the police prosecutor, ASP Edward Ansah, examination result from the Standards Board on the pallets which were found in Aidoo’s stomach, had proved to be cocaine. He therefore, pleaded with the court to adjourn the case to July 21 to enable the Attorney General’s Office to start with the prosecution.
Since the start of ‘Goodies’ cocaine trial, he had never been represented by any legal counsel.
The Chief Executive Officer of Goodies Music Productions, Isaac Abeiku Aidoo, was hauled before an Accra Circuit Court on April 25 to answer drug-related charges. He was alleged to have attempted to export 80 pellets of whitish substance suspected to be cocaine.
He has been charged with two counts of attempted exportation and possession of narcotic drug without lawful authority. His plea has not been taken by the court and has since been remanded in police custody.
According to the police prosecutor, the fact of the case are that ‘Goodies’, who is a popular music producer and had produced top artistes in the country, was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport by NACOB operatives on duty for attempting to export the substance.
He said ‘Goodies’, also Founder of an NGO called Goodies Foundation, on April 23, 2008 arrived at the Airport at about 10.45 pm to board a Ghana International Airline flight to London, UK, and while going through departure formalities, he was suspected by the operatives of having drugs in his stomach.
He was sent to the 37 Military Hospital for X-ray examination and the result disclosed that he had foreign materials in his stomach. He was subsequently arrested and put under observation, where he expelled 80 pellets of a whitish substance suspected to be cocaine.
During interrogation, he claimed the drug was given to him by a certain Abdul Hamid, a musician residing at East Legon, to be delivered to one Willie in London for a fee of £3,000. He however, failed to lead the police to arrest the said Abdul for further action.
