President John Dramani Mahama has directed a full-scale investigation into allegations of drug trafficking and money laundering involving two suspicious flights at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The allegations were raised by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, during a press conference on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
In response, President Mahama emphasized the government’s commitment to addressing the issue with transparency and urgency.
“Government takes all allegations seriously,” he wrote on Facebook, adding that a collaborative investigation involving the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator would be launched immediately.
The President assured the public that his administration remains firm in its stance against illicit drug activities. “We will maintain zero tolerance for using Ghana as a transit or final destination for drugs or drug trafficking,” he declared.
Mahama stressed the need for swift action, instructing the agencies to work closely with Rev. Fordjour to gather all necessary evidence.
He reaffirmed that Ghana’s security institutions will take all measures necessary to expose and dismantle any criminal networks involved.
“To ensure a thorough and transparent investigation, I have directed all relevant investigative agencies to immediately and fully collaborate with the honourable member of parliament,” he stated.
Citing recent efforts to combat drug-related crimes, the President referenced a high-profile drug bust by the NIB last week, which resulted in the seizure of narcotics valued at $350 million.
He stressed the importance of protecting Ghana’s reputation and preventing the country from being exploited by traffickers.
“The NIB made a high-profile bust of drugs last week, with a street value of $350 million,” he noted, reinforcing his administration’s determination to crack down on illegal activities.
