The Ghanaian government has released evidence to clarify allegations surrounding the Cavok aircraft inspection at Kotoka International Airport. The inspection, conducted by security officials, revealed the plane carried oil drills and jerrycans of oil, contradicting claims of cocaine and cash on board.
The inspection showed engineers fixing damaged tires on the landing gear, which required replacement parts and a separate aircraft to transport the necessary equipment and personnel. The plane stayed at the airport for five days due to repairs, not for any alleged illicit activities.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Presidential Spokesperson, shared the evidence to provide transparency and accuracy regarding the aircraft’s contents and inspection process. He emphasized that allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering are untrue and should be disregarded.
The release of this evidence comes after Assin South MP Reverend John Ntim Fordjour demanded a security briefing over alleged drug trafficking and money laundering. The government has warned that Fordjour may face prosecution if he fails to provide evidence supporting his claims.
