Bombshell On Cocaine Exposé: Diplomatic Privileges Were Exploited – Ntim Fordjour Uncovers
The Ranking Member of Parliament’s Committee on Defence and Interior, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour has made startling revelations regarding flights allegedly linked to cocaine trafficking and money laundering operations in Ghana.
His claims go to dismantle recent denials issued in a video by the Government Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, and other key members of government who have categorically dismissed the allegations as false and misleading.
Despite the government willfully putting out information to the contrary of what has been presented as facts by the lawmaker, Mr. Fordjour, in his interaction with Paul Adom Otchere on his “Good Evening Ghana” program on Metro TV, stood by his assertions and offered additional details to substantiate his claims.
He referenced specific flights and claimed there were patterns that raised red flags.
“It is not mere speculation. The records exist, and the relevant authorities are aware”, he stated, urging the government to be transparent with the public.
He further alleged that some of these flights, under the guise of diplomatic clearance, were not subjected to the usual rigorous checks.
In the view of the Assin South lawmaker, this loophole has been exploited for illicit activities for so long that it requires some level of intelligence to unravel it.
“When security protocols are bypassed under diplomatic privilege, it creates the perfect cover for criminal networks to operate”, he said.
Mr Fordjour called for an independent investigation and commission of inquiry into the matter and urged Parliament to summon key government officials as well as the National Security Coordinator to respond to the growing concerns.
He stressed safeguarding national security must rise above partisan interests.
“This is a matter of national integrity. We cannot turn a blind eye simply because it is politically inconvenient”, he concluded.
