The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has strongly refuted claims that its officials provided false information to Rev. Ntim Fordjour regarding drug trafficking allegations linked to two aircraft that landed at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). The company in a statement, clarified that landing permits for aircraft entering Ghana are issued by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in conjunction with National Security, not GACL.
GACL emphasized that all security checks were conducted by Aviation Security and National Security, while ground handling services were provided by Swissport. The company also stated that no illegal substances were found on board either aircraft, contradicting Rev. Fordjour’s claims.
GACL’s Response to Allegations
The company’s Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, has no connection with Rev. Ntim Fordjour, stating she “does not know, has never met, nor spoken to” him. GACL warned that it will not hesitate to seek legal action against any media house, individual, or organization that continues to propagate the unfounded allegations.
Call to Action
GACL urges the public to disregard the publications, describing them as “false, fictitious, and malicious”. The company emphasizes that the burden of proof lies with those making the accusations and will pursue legal redress against any entity engaged in publishing or promoting falsehoods intended to tarnish its reputation.
