President Mahama Orders Probe into Drug and Cash Trafficking Allegations by Minority

President John Dramani Mahama has responded to allegations of suspicious flights arriving in Ghana, directing a thorough investigation into claims of drug trafficking and money laundering. 

This follows concerns raised by the Minority in Parliament regarding Ghana’s security.

In a statement on his official Facebook page, President Mahama assured that the government would leave no stone unturned in addressing the allegations made by Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South.

"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," President Mahama stated.

Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to combating drug-related crimes, President Mahama highlighted a recent drug bust made by the NIB, which uncovered narcotics valued at $350 million. He emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to using Ghana as a conduit for drug trafficking.

Minority raises alarm

The Minority in Parliament, led by Rev. Ntim Fordjour, has raised several security concerns, including allegations of drug and cash smuggling through private jets, the mysterious disappearance of 12 containers filled with gold and cash, and a reported pirate attack on a Ghanaian fishing vessel.

Addressing a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday (April 1, 2025), Rev. Ntim Fordjour specifically mentioned two private aircraft—AirMed flight N823AM and Cavok Air—which reportedly landed at Kotoka International Airport in March 2025 carrying suspicious cargo believed to be cocaine and cash.

“We call on National Security to make full disclosure of the content of the cargo carried by these two aircraft into the country and what was carried out by the same aircraft to Gran Canaria,” he asserted.

The Minority Caucus also demanded answers regarding an alleged pirate attack on the Ghanaian fishing vessel "MENGXIN 1" on March 27, 2025. They called on the government to bolster the Ghana Navy’s capacity by providing Offshore Patrol Vessels to safeguard Ghana’s territorial waters.

Bipartisan call for action

While raising concerns about these security developments, the Minority urged a bipartisan approach to tackling the issues. Mr. Kofi Amankwa Manu, the NPP MP for Atwima Kwanwoma and Deputy Ranking Member on the Interior and Defence Committee of Parliament, emphasized the need for a collective effort to protect Ghana’s security.

“This is a security issue that calls for a collective effort, and the Minority will play its part. We call on others to do the same,” he urged, cautioning against politicizing national security concerns.

The Minority warned that Ghana’s reputation as the second most peaceful country in Africa could be at risk if immediate measures were not taken. They stressed that under President Mahama’s leadership, the country must remain a safe and stable nation, free from threats such as piracy, drug trafficking, and money laundering.

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.
