An Accra High Court has adjourned the suit where the mother of imprisoned drug lord Nayele Ametefe is resisting the state from confiscating one of her properties at East Legon in Accra.

The court adjourned the case due to the failure of the witnesses for the Narcotic Control Board to appear in court. The house is part of a number of properties owned by the Nayele ordered by the High Court to be confiscated after her arrest for carrying cocaine out of the country.

According to the mother of Nayele, the said property which is located at East Legon belonged to her and not her daughter [Nayele].

The 33-year-old Nayele who pleaded guilty to carrying 12 kilos of cocaine to the United Kingdom and was sentenced by the Isleworth Crown Court in London in January 2015 is serving an eight years, eight months jail term.

The sentence was discounted because of her early guilty plea.
