Rev. Ntim Fordjour walks out of Joy FM’s Newsfile after Cargo flight Cocaine allegation backfired
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South and a ranking member on Parliament’s Interior and Defence Committee, abruptly exited Joy FM’s flagship current affairs programme, Newsfile, on Saturday, April 5, following intense scrutiny and backlash over controversial comments he made regarding alleged cargo flights landing at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) with huge sums of Cocaine and undisclosed amount of foreign currencies.

Rev. Fordjour, who also serves as the Deputy Minority Spokesperson on Defence and Interior, came under fire during the live broadcast after he repeated claims made at a press conference earlier in the week, alleging suspicious cargo flights landing at KIA during odd hours.

The press conference, held on Wednesday, April 2, was part of a broader campaign by the Minority in Parliament calling for transparency and accountability in the operations of the country’s airspace and border security.

However, during the Newsfile discussion, his claims were challenged by National Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, who also appeared on the programme.

Sammy Gyamfi presented counter-evidence and called the allegation unfounded, labeling it as “deliberate misinformation.”

Tensions escalated as the host of the programme, Samson Lardy Anyenini, read several critical text messages from viewers who questioned the credibility of Rev. Fordjour’s claims.

Shortly after, Rev. Fordjour informed the host that he could no longer continue with the programme and exited the discussion.

His sudden departure drew widespread attention on social media and from political commentators, with many questioning the basis of his allegations and the implications they carry for national security.

The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) and the Ministry of Defence are yet to officially respond to the claims made by the MP. However, sources close to the National Security Secretariat have dismissed the allegations as misleading and urged the public to disregard them.

Rev. Fordjour is yet to issue a formal statement on his walkout or provide further clarification on the evidence supporting his claims.

The incident has once again reignited debates around the use of public platforms for making unverified security-related allegations, and the responsibilities of public officials in ensuring national discourse is grounded in truth and facts.

meanwhile, the minority in parliament according to source have distanced themselves from the issue claim the Rev. Nti Fourdjour failed to inform the group properly to strategize on have to how to manage the information they have received.
