Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a ranking member on Parliament’s Defence Committee, has warned that Ghana could become a "cocaine coast" due to an unprecedented drug trafficking crisis. In a social media post, the Assin South MP expressed concerns over the increasing number of major narcotics consignments reportedly linked to the country.
Fordjour questioned whether the government was either directly facilitating the transit of narcotics or profiting from the illicit trade, given the perceived lack of decisive action against those responsible. He also raised the question of why no government official had been held accountable for the alleged failures. Fordjour demanded an immediate, comprehensive inquiry involving several key ministries and agencies, emphasizing the need to safeguard Ghana's international reputation.
