The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) is escalating its efforts to address allegations of drug trafficking involving two suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport.
Deputy Director-General Alexander Twum Barimah has warned Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, that authorities will take further action if he continues to refuse cooperation.
Twum Barimah revealed on Eyewitness News that NACOC has made multiple attempts to invite Fordjour for questioning through official channels, but he has consistently declined to respond. The situation has now reached a critical point, with NACOC considering more drastic measures.
“If he goes on the path he is going, he will leave us with no option but to go for him,” Twum Barimah stated.
The matter has transcended NACOC’s jurisdiction and now falls under national security agencies. Twum Barimah emphasized that NACOC is not acting alone, stating,
“This is not just a matter of NACOC, it is a matter of National Security, and the coordinator is coordinating all the security agencies in this country.” If Fordjour is to be arrested, it will be carried out by the relevant authorities.
The controversy surrounding the suspicious flights has sparked intense debate, with some calling for greater transparency and cooperation from Fordjour. The outcome of this investigation may have significant implications for national security and the aviation industry in Ghana.
