Kotoka International Airport has been the subject of a comprehensive investigation by President John Dramani Mahama into claims of drug trafficking and money laundering.
During a news conference, parliamentarian Rev. John Ntim Fordjour made statements about two strange flights that were reportedly connected to illegal activity.
The public was reassured by President Mahama that the administration takes these accusations seriously. In order to find the truth behind the allegations, he has directed important investigative agencies, such as the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), and the National Security Coordinator, to cooperate with Rev. Fordjour.
“We will maintain zero tolerance for using Ghana as a transit or final destination for drugs or drug trafficking,” President Mahama stated in a post on Facebook.
He also brought up a recent NIB drug bust in which $350 million worth of drugs were found.
As the inquiry develops, authorities anticipate issuing further updates. In the fight against drug-related crimes, the government has reaffirmed its dedication to maintaining accountability and transparency.

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.
