Rev. Ntim Fordjour Demands Full Investigation into Alleged Drug Trafficking Flights
Assin South MP demands transparency and accountability over two suspicious flights linked to illicit activities, challenging NACOC's involvement in the investigation.
- Rev. Ntim Fordjour calls for a commission of inquiry into two suspicious flights
- The MP questions NACOC's credibility
- Fordjour insists on the release of CCTV footage to support claims of staged inspections
Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Assin South MP and Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, is urging the government to establish a commission of inquiry to investigate two suspicious flights potentially linked to drug trafficking and money laundering in Ghana.
Fordjour’s call follows remarks from Twum Barimah, the Deputy Director of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), who requested Fordjour’s cooperation in the ongoing investigation. Barimah emphasized that the MP’s involvement could help identify those behind the alleged illegal activities.
However, Fordjour has raised doubts about NACOC’s credibility, accusing the commission of withdrawing from a key security meeting and of assisting the Minister of State for Government Communications in spreading misleading information.
In a response on X (formerly Twitter), Fordjour demanded the release of CCTV footage from the airport to substantiate the claims of a staged inspection and maintenance.
The allegations center around two flights, which the Minority in Parliament believes arrived from Gran Canaria with suspected illegal cargo. The controversy has sparked significant public and diplomatic attention.
Fordjour remains firm in his stance, reiterating his call for a thorough inquiry into the matter. “We therefore call for a commission of inquiry to be established to probe into the matter. See you at the Commission of Inquiry,” he concluded.
