Emaa Hussen, a 34-year-old British actress, has been arrested and charged in Sydney, Australia, after she was fingered in the alleged involvement in US$208m of meth traced to Ghana.
According to reports, Hussen worked in the British entertainment industry.
Emaa Hussen is well known for playing Naz Mehmet in E20, a spin-off of the popular British television series EastEnders.
The actress also appeared in the 2013 action film Redemption, also released under the title Hummingbird, and the 2012 television production The Plot to Bring Down Britain’s Planes.
Emaa Hussen has been charged with attempting to import a commercial quantity of methamphetamine into Australia by the authorities.
Investigators allege that the shipment was later taken to a storage facility in Girraween, western Sydney, where she helped in unpacking the concealed drugs.
Australian Police further disclosed that she transported the drugs to a residence in Blacktown, where she was arrested.
She has since been denied bail and remains in custody and charged alongside a South Australian couple who are also accused of helping coordinate the alleged operation.
In related news, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has called on the Mahama government to account to the public after a large shipment of methamphetamine (meth) linked to Ghana was busted in Australia.
According to Rev John Ntim Fordjour, when he kept cautioning about Ghana becoming a transit point for drug trafficking, the NDC released all their attack on him.
He further highlighted that now Ghana is facing an international embarrassment.
The MP further demanded answers on the 320 kg meth seizure linked to Ghana from government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, NACOC, and BNI, arguing that Ghanaians are owned explanation.
In a post on X, Rev John Ntim Fordjour wrote, “Another major $296 million drug bust originating from our country? When I kept cautioning about Ghana becoming a transit point for drug trafficking, NDC and Jubilee House released all their attack machineries on me.
Now see the international embarrassment. @FelixKwakyeOfo1, NACOC and BNI owe this country an explanation. They shouldn’t escape accountability!”.
His comments come on the back of the Narcotics Control Commission announcing that it has opened investigations into the interception of about 320 kilograms of methamphetamine by Australian authorities.
Reports suggest the drugs were hidden in a shipment declared as charcoal and sent from Ghana to Australia.
Following the bust, authorities in Australia have since charged three people in connection with the case.
The information gathered suggests the seized consignment is valued at roughly A$296 million and is believed to be capable of supplying more than three million street-level deals.
However, Bright Simons highlighted that the Australian meth bust actually happened in April 2026, with Ghanaian law enforcement having known since but giving Ghanaians no update.
According to Bright Simons, in the last two years, Ghana has seen several such strange criminal consignments pop up with zero updates from the security services.
Bright Simons further detailed that the Australian meth bust opens up an interesting new angle outside the Ghanaian security services.
He revealed that no one can ship or tranship charcoal out of Ghana without a Charcoal Export Permit from the Energy Commission, adding that if the charcoal originates in Ghana, one needs a Charcoal Production License.
Also, Bright Simons questioned the Energy Commission over how 320kg of meth left Ghana undetected.
