On what basis did gov’t respond to Ntim Fordjour if it’s now asking for evidence? - Haruna Mohammed

The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has raised concerns. He questions the government's response to Reverend John Ntim Fordjour's drug trafficking allegations.

In an interview on Joy FM's Top Story, Mr. Mohammed expressed worry about threats against Reverend Fordjour. The Reverend recently claimed two aircraft were involved in drug-related activities in Ghana.

He noted that Reverend Fordjour has been asked to provide evidence. Twum Barimah, the Deputy Director-General of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), urged him to cooperate with their investigation.

Mr. Mohammed pointed out that if the government demands evidence now, it raises questions. He wondered why they responded so quickly to the initial allegations without proof.

He stated, "If there is going to be any arrest, it should be Honorable Felix Kwakye Ofosu." He accused Ofosu of spreading falsehoods without accurate information.

"What evidence is the government looking for now?" he asked. This suggests that the government lacked proof when responding to Reverend Fordjour’s claims.

Mr. Mohammed also questioned whether the aircraft actually came to Ghana. He insisted that there should be clear evidence of their presence.

His comments follow a dismissal from Felix Kwakye Ofosu regarding Mr. Fordjour's claims about drug trafficking and money laundering involving those aircraft.

In a social media post, Ofosu called Mr. Fordjour’s allegations baseless. He accused him of spreading disinformation to undermine public confidence in the government.

Ofosu stated that facts contradict Mr. Fordjour’s claims entirely. He explained that both aircraft arrived in Ghana for legitimate reasons and passed security inspections with no illegal substances found on board.
