Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour
The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has alleged that officials from the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) have visited the residence of Rev. Ntim Fordjour to “arrest him.”
He made this known in a Facebook post on Wednesday, April 9.
In the post, he said “N.I.B is currently at Hon. Ntim Firdjour’s residence to arrest him”
National Organiser of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, also made a similar post on his Facebook page.
Rev Ntim Fordjour has alleged that two aircraft, which recently landed in the country, were involved in money laundering and illicit drug trafficking. He has since called on the government to investigate the matter and address the public on the issue.
Following his statement in a press briefing at Parliament, the government’s spokesperson, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, responded, refuting the allegations and describing his comments as false.
He explained that the aircraft had landed in the country due to minor technical faults and other legitimate reasons.
The development has since sparked political tension between the two major parties, the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Some security analysts and political figures have called for Rev. Fordjour’s arrest for further interrogation.
