Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member of Ghana’s Defence and Interior Committee, has strongly denied accusations from government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu that he was invited by security agencies to assist with investigations into allegations of suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). Rev. Fordjour refuted the claims, demanding that Kwakye Ofosu provide evidence of such an invitation.

In a statement issued on April 3, Fordjour criticized the government’s handling of the situation, accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Caucus and the administration of blocking his request for a Joint Security briefing. Fordjour argued that the briefing would have allowed security and intelligence agencies to work together and update him on ongoing investigations.

“What are they hiding?” Rrv.Fordjour asked, questioning the government’s transparency on the matter.

The MP also took issue with the government’s explanation of the flights, calling the official responses “incoherent” and “questionable.” He specifically called out the government for failing to address unresolved issues such as the status of 12 containers containing gold and currency seized by National Security, and ongoing investigations into cocaine busts worth $500 million.

Fordjour warned that Ghana must not allow itself to become a hotspot for illicit activities like cocaine trafficking and money laundering, urging the government to be more forthcoming with critical information. “Our country cannot be allowed to become a hub for these crimes,” he said. “They must come again.”
