Ntim Fordjour accuses security agencies of avoiding a meeting to provide updates on investigations into the specific issues

The Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has accused the National Security, National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), Police CID and Narcotics Control Commission of avoiding a meeting to provide updates on investigations into the specific security matters he has raised.

He suspects that the security agencies have something to hide.

In a post on his X page, he said “They have demonstrated clearly they have something to hide. After I demanded a joint briefing of National Security, NIB, Police CID, Narcotics Control Commission, they have evaded the meeting and are avoiding a meeting to provide updates on investigations into the specific security matters raised.

“I shall therefore explore every Parliamentary tool at my disposal in the exercise of oversight until we have answers to the following high profile matters of urgent public interest: 1. The status of gold and cash seized by National Security on February 9. 2. The content of cargo transported by the suspicious flights i.e. AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B in March 3. The status of high-profile cocaine busts worth $350 million and $120 million, respectively in March Ghana cannot be allowed to be turned into a hub for drug trafficking and money laundering.”

Ntim Fordjour had formally requested a security briefing from key national security agencies regarding high-profile criminal investigations.

In a letter dated April 2, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Defence and Interior, Fordjour called for representatives from National Security, the Police CID, the Narcotics Control Commission, and the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) to appear before the committee on April 7, 2025, at 11:00 AM.

The purpose of the meeting, according to the letter, is to allow the security agencies to provide updates on major investigations into criminal activities of national concern.

Among the cases expected to be discussed are:

1. Gold and Currency Smuggling: An operation by National Security in Sapielman on February 9, 2025, that uncovered twelve 20-foot containers reportedly packed with gold bars and foreign currencies.
2. Massive Cocaine Busts: The seizure of two shipments of cocaine, valued at $350 million and $120 million, respectively, which took place in March 2025.
3. Suspicious Flights: Two flights—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-128—arriving from Gran Canaria at Kotoka International Airport on March 12 and March 20, 2025. The flights reportedly departed back to Gran Canaria on March 25, with uncertainty surrounding the cargo they transported to and from Ghana.
