Ntim Fordjour calls out NDC for blocking security briefing on suspicious flights and drug investigations

Assin South MP Rev. John Ntim Fordjour has accused the Mahama administration of hiding important information. This information relates to drug trafficking and money laundering investigations.

In an interview on Good Morning Ghana, Fordjour refuted claims from government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu. Ofosu suggested that Fordjour was invited by security agencies but did not comply. Fordjour called these allegations false and labeled the money laundering claims a “lie.” He questioned the government's transparency, asking, “What are they hiding?”

Fordjour stated, “No security or intelligence agency has ever invited me.” He challenged Kwakye Ofosu to provide proof of such an invitation. He remains open to working with Parliament to fulfill President Mahama’s directive.

As the Ranking Member on the Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Interior, Fordjour revealed his request for a Joint Security briefing was blocked. This briefing would have allowed various agencies to update on ongoing investigations.

He expressed frustration over the government's handling of two suspicious flights. He described their explanations as “incoherent” and “questionable.” He found their responses insufficient and untrustworthy.

Fordjour also highlighted the government's failure to address 12 containers confiscated by National Security on February 9. These containers reportedly contained gold and foreign currencies. Additionally, he mentioned ongoing investigations into a cocaine bust worth about $500 million.

“Our country cannot be allowed to become a hub for cocaine and money laundering,” he asserted. He warned that Ghana could become a major center for illicit activities if the government ignores these issues.

Fordjour called for clearer answers from the administration and full transparency in ongoing investigations. Many Ghanaians are watching closely for clarity on the government's actions regarding these allegations.
