Isaac Abeidu-Aidoo alias Goodies, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Goodies Music Productions, has been arrested by officials of the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) for allegedly attempting to smuggle whitish substances believed to be cocaine.
He was busted for allegedly swallowing about 80 pellets of the substance with a street value of over €32,000.
A source at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA), who spoke to DAILY GUIDE in confidence, said Goodies was picked up while going through boarding formalities at the KIA to board a flight to the United Kingdom on Wednesday April 23, 2008.
The source said officials of NACOB, upon suspecting Goodies of carrying contraband, picked him for questioning, during which he allegedly confessed to swallowing about 80 pellets of cocaine ostensibly to sell in UK.
Goodies was whisked to NACOB Headquarters in Accra for observation and at the time of filing this story, he was said to have expelled 43 of the 80 pellets.
Goodies, who is also the founder of Goodies Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has produced top hiplife artistes who have made lots of impression in both international and local circles.
He is the producer of the hiplife trio, VIP (Vision In Progress). The group won five awards at the 2004/5 Ghana Music Awards.
Goodies was also the manager of sensational Nana Ekua Amoah, alias Mzbel, when she was allegedly raped and robbed by a gang.
The business ‘romance’ between Goodies and Mzbel broke down when the artiste left him, accusing the producer of leaving her in a dilemma.
The controversial “Apuskeleke” song by Nana Kofi Ofori also known as Sidney as well as “Fe ne eye fe” by Tic Tac was produced by Goodies.
On the international scene, his organisation has collaborated with one of the embassies in Ghana (name withheld) where he produced a song to promote the relation between that embassy and the Republic of Ghana.
Furthermore, he has collaborated with Tony Tetuila and 2Face Idibia, both from Nigeria, to come out with record-making songs.
As a philanthropist, he has used his foundation to collaborate with some institutions in Ghana including the Ghana Olympic Committee, the Prisons Service and other institutions to raise funds for sports in Ghana, prisoners and most importantly, People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA).
The whitish substance, which was tested at the Ghana Standards Board, had been confirmed as being cocaine.
He would soon be prosecuted after going through interrogations at the NACOB Headquarters.
DAILY GUIDE learnt that his wife Patricia had already paid him a visit at the NACOB Headquarters.

What a wrecked life style. Making money off drugs is certainly a pain in the ass. Why do such harm thy family and kids? That’s why Ghanaian hiplife musician never prospers. Such as like adopting a western way of making money or making music will lead in eating your own crap. The only creative music artistes in the country are Wanluv and Kwaw Kese. Learn from them. Goodies what the hell…
sorry
why blame goodies, blame the stupid dj’s who sit at their radio stations demanding 500 new ghana cedis/5million cedis before they play the creative work of our musicians. they are driving our record promotors out of business, the only way to compete is to try and make easy money.am soo sorry for goodies expecially his wife, i know goodies to be a very good christian,the only reason for him to have done this is to upset depts which our dj’s have made him to incurr over the years,thanks to ungratfull beings like mzbel and co.
its rather unfortunate but this will syrely serve as a lesson to those lazy fools who want to make money thru the quick way.all that glitters is not gold,let us all becareful.
some wrong with goodies,stupid punk.this motherfuckers make so much money and he still cant get enough to spend it.we don’t do shit like that any more cocaine shit take you way back 1980s.do not strap your self through the airport.money hungry.i hope he fuck up for that shit.punk
when the chickens comes home to roost
what the hell???????????? be content with wat u have.aba
Im really sad that this has to happen to someone we look up to. Goodies should not be in this situation but i beleiev everythin has a reason. all im askin Ghanains to do is to be patient and pray for his family so that he can be vindicated of this..Also other artist and people of ghana who do this should be careful and if possible find another way of making the lut. Now Ghana is blessed we just need to wait for the appropriate time to enjoy.no one should mess up. I know this is not an act to be proud of but we all know goodies has made a lot of impact in the ghanaian industry. and therefore ill pleade on his behave to all ghanaians to forgive him and fight for him for our old people say, “if ur child eases him or herself on ur lap u wipe but not cut off” so please make sure u in ghana do ur best to visit the fam and pray with them. we uphere would also strive to see that he is vindicated so he can return to help build the community
Are you that stupid Godsonflexy? Don’t ya realize that these drugs were being sold to others who innocently abuse it and it has side effects to the human? So why pray for a man who does not pleases what God has given him, but through his greedy life, expect more from the innocent society with drugs? Be smart Godson and dont adopt a primitive mind set.
poetic i think u are also stupid, what do you mean that we shd be pleased with what we hve. is unfortunate that as a poet you dont know this, as long as the earth keep rotating we will never be pleased with what we hve, cus that will simple mean that we should stop living. goodies started from somewhere and he needs to keep climbing up the ladder. even our pastors who teaches us to be pleased with what we hve are always praying for more converts so that they can get more money to buy more cars and houses. i consider goodies to be a hero, the only problem i hve with him is why he made these idiots to catch him. see all this big cars in ghana hve you ever asked yourself where these people get their money’s from. do you think they get all by doing legal bussiness, it is either; drugs,stealing or even killing. i have lived in the uk for soo long i know what am talking about.there are so many goodies around you, the only difference is that they have not being caught. it is happening even in the church, look out for those ‘burgers’ you use as chairman for your harvest etc.
Its’ very sad but i will advise we should be content with the little we have as too much of everything is bad and also our leaders should set good example for the little ones to follow
It is very un4-2nate that Goodies, a gentleman of such a high calibre should be involved in hard drugs. But note all of you out there, we are all guilty, Goodies has been caught today, the critic will be caught tomorrow. I am not saying Goodies is right, but what I mean is that there are million and one people out there, in vantage and respectable positions who are involved in this drug business. It is Goodies turn today, remember, tomorrow it will be OUR turn. humble lion say so (Prince Afotey Laryea)
sorry boss u will always be remembered for the good things u have do0ne to help ghana.WE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH U AND UR ORGANISATION,AND ALL THE ARTIST IN UR CAMP STAY BLESS……..
there are millions of people in this ungodly businness before and after the arrest of Goodies who are succesfully carrying these subsatnces accross through the Kotoka int. airport today as I write this piece, where is the NACOB? Have they been dissolved? please arrest and legally prosecute the gurus in this infamous but rather “NOBLE” Profession and stop the noise about “small boys” like Goodies, note here that, armed robbers throne the streets of Ga, some from neighbouring countries making life in Ghana FEAR OF FEAR. “Might not be grammatical but….” Ghana is a peaceful country only when it is about fighting one another, but if the subject matter is crime and corruption, please we are not safe. taxi drivers are thrown in jail while cocaine dealers and armed robbers walk freely, we are in danger, Goodies must be prosecuted, fine, but everyone must be measured with the same yardstick. NACOB, go to the Kotoka int airport today and you will get as many people as possible with the drug on them if you are really serious and want to. Humble Lion (PRINCE AFOTEY LARYEA)
