The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Justin Frimpong Kodua, has revealed on social media that agents from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) have arrived at the residence of Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, with the apparent intention of arresting him.
He wrote “N.I.B. is currently at Hon. Ntim Fordjour’s residence to arrest him.”

Rev. Fordjour, who holds a key position as the Ranking Member of Parliament’s Interior and Defence Committee, has been embroiled in a high-stakes controversy.
The Minority caucus in Parliament led by Ntim Fordjour called on National Security to urgently disclose details of two aircraft suspected of transporting cocaine and cash into Ghana.
The flights in question—AirMed flight N823AM and Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B—reportedly landed at the Kotoka International Airport from Gran Canaria, Spain, before departing on 25th March 2025.
According to intelligence intercepted by the Minority, AirMed flight N823AM, an air ambulance, did not transport any patients but allegedly carried suspicious cargo suspected to contain cocaine and US dollars.
“There is no evidence of any medical referral or patient on board. Rather, our intelligence suggests that the aircraft was used to smuggle illicit cargo,” the Minority stated
Ntim Fordjour, citing intelligence he had received, made the allegations, prompting President John Dramani Mahama to order state institutions to collaborate with the MP to investigate the matter.
The President’s directive aimed to verify the authenticity of the claims and ensure transparency in the investigation process.
In response to the President’s order, Ntim Fordjour wrote to the chairman of the Interior and Defence Committee in Parliament, requesting that state security officers be summoned to brief the committee about the allegations.
However, the chairman replied, emphasizing that since Ntim Fordjour made the allegations, he should cooperate with the President’s directive by honoring the request to produce his intelligence.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a government spokesperson, has provided an explanation for the presence of the aircraft in Ghana, dismissing Ntim Fordjour’s claims as false information.
According to Ofosu, the flights had legitimate purposes, contradicting the MP’s allegations of illicit activities.
The Deputy Director of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), Alexander Twum Barimah Esq, issued a stern warning to Reverend Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, yesterday April 8, over public allegations regarding cocaine trafficking.
Twum Barimah emphasized that media disclosures could compromise ongoing investigations and warned that continued unfounded claims could lead to arrest.
“You see he will leave us with no option than to arrest him because this kind of things that he is saying I don’t get it.”
