NPP demands gov’t accountability over suspicious Aircraft and drug trafficking allegations

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the government to provide a clear and detailed explanation regarding the presence and operations of two foreign aircraft AirMed flight N823AM and a Cavok Air Antonov An-12B whose activities in Ghana have raised serious public and international concerns.

In a Press statement signed by Richard Ahiagbah, Director of Communications, the NPP condemned what it described as the government’s intimidation of the minority and failure to adequately respond to legitimate public queries.

The party criticized the explanation provided by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, saying it was “scanty,” “defensive,” and deepened suspicions surrounding the aircrafts’ missions.

“Curiously, both aircraft developed faults while in Ghana,” the statement read. “The idea that the government will politicize citizens’ legitimate desire to know whether the aircraft were on an illegal mission only reinforces the suspicion that the government’s explanation is contrived.”

The party cited growing international concern, referencing a call by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime for Ghana to investigate the circumstances surrounding the aircrafts’ presence.

Beyond the aircraft issue, the NPP is also demanding updates on two major drug trafficking cases: a $350 million cocaine bust in Cape Coast and a $150 million cocaine seizure in Sekondi. The latter is reportedly linked to a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“The political explanation offered by Mr. Kwakye Ofosu failed to address the request for an update on these drug arrests,” the statement noted. “The silence on these high-profile arrests undermines public trust, particularly given the alleged involvement of a senior member of the NDC.”

The NPP warned the government against trivializing issues related to drug trafficking and money laundering, stating that Ghana’s international reputation and compliance with global obligations were at stake.

“The international community is watching closely. Ghana cannot afford the perception of complicity or institutional failure in confronting transnational crime,” the party warned, further accusing the John Mahama-led administration of fostering “intolerance and lack of openness.”

The NPP pledged to continue holding the government accountable, declaring, “Ghana deserves better.”
