Nayele Ametefe, the Ghanaian lady who was sentenced in the UK for drug trafficking, has written to the Ghanaian government to renounce her citizenship, StarrFMonline.com has learnt.
In a letter addressed to the Interior Ministry some weeks a ago, Ametefe who holds both Ghanaian and Austrian passports is asking the Ghanaian authorities to spike her name out as a Ghanaian. It is unclear the reasons for her decision.
However, starrfmonline.com sources have gathered that Nayele could benefit from a prisoner transfer arrangement between the UK and Austria if she is identified only as an Austrian.
Secondly, our checks reveal that the system in Austria generally allows for the early release of prisoners. Often, first time offenders are allowed to serve half of their term and then granted a pardon. The Executive Court can also release a prisoner at their own discretion.
Several attempts by starrfmonline.com for the Interior ministry to comment failed as the ministry remains tight-lipped on the issue.
Background
The Isleworth Crown Court in the UK in January 2015 sentenced Nayele to eight years and eight months in prison.
Ametefe was arrested on November 10 at the Heathrow Airport after attempting to enter the UK with the cocaine in her hand luggage.
She was subsequently charged with Class A drug trafficking and was arraigned before court. A total of 12 people were arrested in Ghana in connection with the case.

Hey of what use. Very useful to Jm, Ibrahim and Dr Opuni
Mahama and his NDC crooks are trying hard to help this drug dealer gets out of prison. You know why? Beacuse she was working for them - the NDC
This lady thinks she's too smart ,
That is a smart move. She's trying to be smart towards the British authorities knowing that after her term in jail, she will be deported to Ghana. All foreign citizens who serves more than 6 months in prison are recommended for deportation to their country thus if she renounces her Ghanaian citizenship, the other alternative will be to be deported to Austria her adopted country. She also knows if she is deported to Ghana, that will be her end as she will never be allowed to travel to any European country. God bless her.
Twooow. Of what use is she to Ghana? She can go to hell. Her nefarious and selfish activities have even led to lots of lunacy on our streets. She should give us a break with her ill-gotten wealth.
