Drug money 'tainting Ghana poll'


Ghana's election campaign could be tarnished by money from West African drug trafficking, an official has said.

Kwesi Aning, head of research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, said the "very fabric" of Ghanaian society was under threat.

His comments came as the UN warned in a report that West Africa risks becoming an epicentre for drug trafficking from South America to Europe.
