The Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed allegations made by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, regarding the alleged landing of suspicious aircraft at Kotoka International Airport.
Fordjour had called for an urgent briefing on the cargo carried by two aircraft—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B—which he claimed were transporting cocaine and cash into the country.
His allegations prompted President John Dramani Mahama to order an investigation into the matter.
Addressing the issue on Thursday, April 3, Minister Ofosu accused Fordjour of deliberately spreading falsehoods.
He stated that after being invited to assist in investigations, the MP distanced himself from his claims, saying they were not his personal views but those of the committee he represented.
“He now claims that the views he expressed were not his personal opinions but those of the committee, and for that reason, he is unable to cooperate with security agencies,” Ofosu stated.
The Minister further criticized Fordjour’s actions, arguing that his statements were baseless and intended to create public distrust in the government. He insisted that the facts contradicted Fordjour’s claims and accused him of attempting to mislead the public.
The government has assured Ghanaians that thorough investigations are ongoing to clarify the matter and maintain national security.
