Ing Kwadwo Twum Boafo, the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Intelligence Centre
Ing. Kwadwo Twum Boafo, the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), has described the actions of the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, in connection with the Airmed saga as a desperate attempt to court public attention by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana program, Ing. Twum Boafo claimed that Ntim Fordjour was hiding under the cover of parliamentary privilege to make baseless allegations.
He characterized Fordjour’s actions as a failed attempt to emulate the approach of the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who gained prominence for his exposés that challenged the former Akufo-Addo government.
Twum Boafo dared John Ntim Fordjour to submit himself to security agencies for investigation if he indeed had evidence to support his claims.
“Reverend Ntim Fordjour has been acting irresponsibly, using the cloak of Parliament to shield himself. If you have information that the Airmed flight was carrying cocaine or contraband, submit it to the NIB and the Inter-Ministerial Committee.
“He wants to turn himself into another Okudzeto, but he can never be like Okudzeto. He has no evidence; all he does is spread scandal. He is hiding under the armpit of Afenyo-Markin because he’s afraid of being arrested. If you’re a man worth your salt, when the security agencies call, you show up,” he stated.
On April 1, 2025, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, claimed that the Minority Caucus had intercepted intelligence indicating that an air ambulance landed in Ghana without any patient referrals.
According to the Minority, two flights—suspected of carrying cocaine and an undisclosed amount of cash—landed in Ghana between March 20 and March 25, 2025.
