A recent claim made by Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, a Member of Parliament, alleging suspicious flights landed at Kotoka International Airport, transporting cocaine and money into the country, has sparked a thorough investigation. President Mahama has directed all relevant investigative agencies, including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator, to collaborate with Rev. Fordjour to investigate the allegations.
The President emphasized that the government takes all allegations seriously and is committed to ensuring a transparent investigation. He also assured that the government will maintain zero tolerance for using Ghana as a transit point or final destination for drug trafficking.
Rev. Fordjour’s claims were met with criticism from Minister of State for Government Communications Felix Kwakye Ofosu, who described them as “peddling of falsehood.” However, President Mahama’s swift response demonstrates the government’s commitment to addressing concerns and ensuring accountability.
