Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour
Joy News has learnt that operatives of the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) have stormed the home of Assin South MP and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Interior and Defence Committee, Rev Ntim Fordjour to execute an arrest warrant.
This has been corroborated by the General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, who made a post on Facebook on Wednesday, April 9, saying, NIB officials have visited the residence of Rev. Ntim Fordjour to “arrest him.”
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 on the same day.
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.
