The most frequent visa stamp to appear in passports recently seized in Senegal from three Colombians was that of Guinea- Bissau. An identity card, found with the passports, provided one Colombian with residency in Guinea- Bissau. It was issued by the Ministry of the Interior. Guinea-Bissau's Interior Minister, Major Baciro Dabo, and the head of the navy, Jose Americo Bubu Na Tchutu, are alleged by multiple sources to be key facilitators of the trade. The Interior Minister denies that his country is the newest narco-state, and the navy chief says he is not involved in any drugs trade. "I just sit there waiting for evidence," Admiral Na Tchutu said. "Whether today, tomorrow or in a thousand years, I will never be a drugs trafficker." The emergence of the cocaine trade in west Africa is the subject of an exclusive report for Channel 4 News, to be broadcast tonight at 7pm independent.co.uk Terms & Policies | Privacy Policy | Email newsletter | RSS | Contact us | Syndication | Advertising Guide | Subscriptions | Jobs | Evening Standard | Homes & Property | London Careers | Novaya Gazeta (English)
