A thorough investigation has been launched into allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering involving two suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) in Ghana.
The probe was initiated after Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, raised concerns during a press conference on April 1, 2025.
President John Dramani Mahama, in a Facebook indicated that he has instructed key investigative agencies to collaborate with Rev. Fordjour and thoroughly examine the claims.
The government has assured the public of its commitment to transparency and urgency in addressing the issue, emphasizing its zero-tolerance policy on drug-related activities.
The investigation aims to uncover the truth behind the allegations and take necessary measures to combat drug trafficking, ensuring Ghana’s security and reputation are safeguarded.
Below is the full statement issued by President Mahama:
My attention has been drawn to allegations made at a press conference by an honourable member of parliament, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, regarding two suspicious flights arriving at the Kotoka International Airport suspected to be involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
Government takes all allegations seriously, and to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation, I have directed all relevant investigative agencies – including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator – to immediately and fully collaborate with the honourable member of parliament so he provides all necessary information to investigate the allegations and take all action necessary to expose any drug dealing.
We will maintain zero tolerance for using Ghana as a transit or final destination for drugs or drug trafficking. The NIB made a high-profile bust of drugs last week, with a street value of $350 million.
