Ghana’s Defence Minister, Dr. Omane Boamah, has publicly criticized Rev. Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee in Parliament, over recent claims that Ghana has become a hub for drug trafficking under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

Rev. Fordjour made the allegations during a press conference, pointing fingers at the current government for a supposed surge in illicit drug activities.

In response, President John Dramani Mahama acknowledged a major drug bust involving $350 million worth of cocaine and directed security agencies to work with the Reverend to investigate the claims thoroughly.

However, Dr. Boamah did not take the comments lightly. In a strong-worded statement shared on social media, he accused Rev. Fordjour of spreading falsehoods rooted in political bias and a desire to gain attention within his party.

The minister urged him to refrain from what he called “reckless allegations” and described the accusations as part of a smear campaign against President Mahama.

Dr. Boamah also challenged Rev. Fordjour’s credibility, questioning how a religious leader could engage in such politically motivated attacks. He ended his statement by calling on the Reverend to “repent” and rely on facts rather than sensationalism.
