Assin South MP and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has called for a full-scale investigation into a series of major narcotics seizures involving consignments allegedly linked to Ghana.
According to the legislator, more than $1 billion worth of narcotics has been intercepted in Ghana and at ports outside the country in less than two years under the NDC administration led by President John Dramani Mahama.
“In April 2026, $208m worth of meth narcotics was busted in Australia from Ghana,” he said.
Rev. Ntim Fordjour further claimed that the Interior Minister had told Parliament that some government officials were complicit in the activities.
However, he questioned why no government official had, so far, been named or prosecuted in connection with the alleged trafficking.
He also pointed to the latest reported $260 million cocaine seizure in France, arguing that the incidents reflect what he described as an unprecedented level of narcotics trafficking involving Ghana.
“This level of drug trafficking is unprecedented in our history,” he said.
Rev. Ntim Fordjour is demanding an immediate investigation involving the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Transport, Narcotics Control Commission, Ghana Immigration Service and the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) to establish the circumstances surrounding the seizures and determine whether any officials were involved.
