H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the President of Ghana, has directed the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator to investigate alleged drug trafficking and money laundering.
According to the statement, President Mahama indicated that he received the said allegation from a press conference held by Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a Member of Parliament, regarding two suspicious flights that arrived at Kotoka International Airport and were suspected to be involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
Government takes all allegations seriously, and to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation, I have directed all relevant investigative agencies—including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator—to immediately and fully collaborate with the Honourable Member of Parliament so he can provide all necessary information to investigate the allegations and take all necessary actions to expose any drug dealings.
