The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed claims made by Assin South MP, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, regarding alleged drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that passed through Ghana. Kwakye Ofosu described the allegations as baseless and accused Fordjour of spreading disinformation to undermine public confidence in the government.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, President John Mahama allowed Fordjour to provide evidence to security agencies for proper investigations. However, Fordjour backtracked after being invited to assist in the probe, claiming he was speaking on behalf of a committee and not expressing his personal views.
Kwakye Ofosu stated that the facts contradict Fordjour’s claims, and he was only seeking to peddle falsehoods to undermine the government. This development comes after the Minority in Parliament demanded full disclosure from National Security regarding the two flights that landed in Ghana in early March and departed for Gran Canaria, Spain, on March 25.
President John Mahama has directed the National Security and relevant authorities to conduct a full-scale investigation into the matter.
