Cooperate with us - NACOC tells Ntim Fordjour over 'suspicious flight' claims

The Deputy Director-General of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), Twum Barimah, has urged Rev. Ntim Fordjour, the MP for Asin South, to cooperate with them. This request is regarding allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that landed in Ghana.

Barimah spoke on JoyNews' AM Show on April 8. He emphasized that cooperation from Rev. Ntim is crucial to investigate these claims thoroughly. "To arrest those involved, he should work with us," he stated.

He warned that if the MP does not cooperate, "appropriate action would be taken." There are several options available to address this situation.

A week ago, Rev. Ntim held a press briefing about his concerns. He claimed that an air ambulance, Air MED flight L823 AM, landed at Kotoka International Airport on March 20, 2025. The aircraft stayed in Ghana for five days without carrying any patients.

“There is no record of a medical referral,” he said. Instead, he alleged it transported suspicious cargo believed to be cocaine and cash.

Rev. Ntim also mentioned a private jet, Antonov 12B, which arrived at Kotoka International Airport on March 12, 2025. This aircraft remained in Ghana for 13 days before leaving on March 25—the same day as the air ambulance.

The simultaneous departures raised further suspicions for him.

In response to these allegations, Felix Kwakye Ofosu dismissed them as baseless. The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications accused Rev. Ntim of spreading disinformation to undermine public confidence in the government.
