Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) South Africa branch, Benjamin Kofi Quashie, has disclosed that preparations for the arrest of Reverend Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Asin South, are nearly finalized.
The MP is facing possible arrest following explosive allegations he made regarding drug trafficking and money laundering involving aircraft that landed in Ghana.
Speaking on JoyPrime’s News Flash on Monday, April 7, Quashie stated, “I can confidently say that the processes (to arrest him) are almost complete.”
He emphasized that the only delay is due to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, currently being out of the country.
However, he expressed confidence that upon the Speaker’s return, the arrest would proceed.
Rev Ntim Fordjour, who also serves as Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, had earlier alleged at a press conference that some foreign aircraft which recently touched down in Ghana were involved in money laundering and illicit drug trade.
His claims have stirred intense debate, especially within political and security circles.
The government has since dismissed the allegations, offering official explanations for the aircraft’s presence in the country. Still, the gravity of the MP’s accusations has led to mounting pressure on him to present concrete evidence.
Despite the backlash, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), of which Rev Fordjour is a member, has stood by his claims, calling for a comprehensive investigation into the aircraft activities.
