The Deputy Director-General of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), Twum Barimah, has urged the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asin South, Rev. Ntim Fordjour, to cooperate with them in addressing his allegations about illicit drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that landed in Ghana.
Speaking on JoyNews’ on Tuesday, April 8, Mr. Barimah emphasized that Rev. Ntim’s cooperation is critical to investigating the case thoroughly.
“I will advise my good friend and brother that he should cooperate with us if he really wants us to get to the root of this matter,” he said.
He stressed that Rev. Ntim’s cooperation would be vital to apprehending those allegedly involved in the suspicious activities.
“To apprehend or arrest any other person who is involved in his so-called suspicious act, he should cooperate with us, the security agencies, to make sure that we get the appropriate or required information and act on it,” Mr. Barimah added.
He also warned that should the MP fail to cooperate, “the appropriate action would be taken, there are several options to go for.”
Rev. Ntim had previously raised concerns about two aircraft—the Air MED flight L823 AM and a private jet, Antonov 12B—that he claims were involved in suspicious activities at the Kotoka International Airport.
The MP alleged that the air ambulance, which landed on March 20, 2025, stayed in Ghana for five days but did not carry any patients. He suggested that the aircraft transported suspicious cargo, including cocaine and cash.
He also raised concerns about the Antonov 12B, which landed on March 12, 2025, and remained in Ghana for 13 days, departing on the same day as the air ambulance, further fueling suspicions.
In response, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, dismissed Rev. Ntim’s claims as baseless. He accused the MP of spreading disinformation to undermine public trust in the government.
