President John Dramani Mahama has initiated a thorough investigation into allegations of illicit drug trafficking and money laundering via two suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The accusations were raised by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, during a press conference.
President Mahama has instructed key investigative agencies, including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator, to collaborate with Rev. Fordjour and thoroughly examine the claims.
Emphasizing the government’s commitment to addressing the issue with transparency and urgency, President Mahama assured the public that all necessary measures would be taken to expose and combat drug trafficking.
He highlighted the government’s zero-tolerance policy on drug-related activities, citing a recent high-profile drug bust by the NIB, which seized narcotics valued at $350 million.
President Mahama reiterated Ghana’s stance against being used as a transit or destination for illicit drugs, underscoring the importance of safeguarding the nation’s security and reputation. The investigation is expected to be comprehensive, with a focus on transparency and urgency.
