Government dismissed my drug trafficking warning, then tried to arrest me – Ntim Fordjour
The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, says the government dismissed his earlier warning about drug trafficking and attempted to arrest him instead of taking his concerns seriously.
Parliament's Defence and Interior Committee Ranking Member, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, claims that the government ignored his warning about drug trafficking and tried to arrest him instead. The Assin South MP says that the recent cocaine seizure in France demonstrates why he should have been taken seriously. He is troubled by the government's challenge to his claims only to face questions about a major cocaine shipment connected to Ghana.
In April 2025, Rev. Fordjour requested an investigation into two aircraft that reportedly landed at Kotoka International Airport, alleging they may have been used to transport drugs or cash. The government dismissed these allegations, while Ghana Airports Company Limited stated that security checks found no evidence of illegal substances on either aircraft.
On April 9, 2025, National Intelligence Bureau operatives attempted to arrest Rev. Fordjour at his Accra residence. Minority MPs and NPP officials gathered at the house to prevent the arrest, and he was not detained. The latest case involves cocaine found by French customs at Dunkirk's port in a container shipped from Ghana. Rev.
Fordjour sees this as proof of his earlier concerns, although his 2025 allegations were about aircraft, and no connection between those flights and the Dunkirk shipment has been established.
