  "summary": "Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has accused the government of dismissing his earlier warning about drug trafficking and attempting to arrest him instead of investigating his concerns. Fordjour alleged that the government sent security officials to his home to harass him and his family after he raised concerns about two aircraft landing at Kotoka International Airport in April 2025. He questioned the level of evidence the government expected him to provide, stating that drug seizures in other countries often rely on intelligence rather than individuals coming forward with physical evidence.",
