Fordjour to Government: ‘What Are You Hiding from the Public on Suspicious Flights?’
Rev. John Ntim Fordjour criticizes the government's handling of suspicious flights and accuses them of evading accountability while warning against turning Ghana into a hub for illicit activities.
- Fordjour Denies Invitation to assist in flight investigation
- Government Blocked Security Briefing for updates
- Warns of Illicit Activities like cocaine trafficking
Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, has rejected government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu’s claims that he was invited by security agencies to assist with investigations into suspicious flights.
Fordjour firmly denies any such invitation, demanding that Kwakye Ofosu provide proof of the alleged request.
In a statement, Fordjour criticized the government’s handling of the issue, accusing both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Caucus and the government of obstructing his efforts to hold a Joint Security briefing.
This briefing, he argued, would have facilitated collaboration with security and intelligence agencies to provide updates on the ongoing investigations.
“What are they hiding?” Fordjour questioned, pointing out inconsistencies in the government’s explanation regarding the entry and exit of the flights, which he deemed “incoherent and questionable.”
Fordjour also noted the government’s failure to address critical matters, including the whereabouts of 12 containers filled with gold and currencies confiscated by National Security on February 9, as well as investigations into a massive $500 million cocaine bust.
He accused the government of evading accountability, warning that Ghana must not become a hub for illicit activities like cocaine trafficking and money laundering.
“Our country cannot be allowed to suddenly turn into a haven for cocaine and money laundering. They must come again,” he stated.
