The Minority in Ghana's parliament has called for an independent parliamentary inquiry into the country's alleged involvement in major narcotics trafficking cases over the past 18 months. The Minority Caucus, led by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, highlighted several drug seizures in Ghana and abroad, which they claim are linked to the country.

These seizures include a tipper truck carrying over 3.3 tonnes of cocaine in March 2025, a consignment of 120 slabs of cocaine in August 2026, and numerous other cases. The Caucus expressed concern about the release of a suspicious vessel, the MV Sankofa, in July 2025, and cited several international seizures involving Ghana. They demanded a full-scale parliamentary inquiry into the matter, questioning the progress of investigations and the identities of those behind the drug trafficking.
