Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has issued a strong warning to media houses and individuals propagating false claims concerning two aircraft that recently landed at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
The warning follows allegations made by Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South, who claimed the aircraft were involved in drug trafficking—claims GACL has firmly denied in an official statement issued on Tuesday, April 8.
In the statement, GACL clarified that all landing permits for aircraft entering Ghana are issued by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and National Security, not by GACL.
The company further explained that security inspections were conducted by Aviation Security and National Security agencies, while Swissport provided ground handling services.
Investigations into the flights found no evidence of any illegal substances onboard either aircraft.
GACL also refuted claims of any connection between its Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, and Rev. Fordjour, stating unequivocally that she has never met or communicated with him.
Emphasising the importance of accuracy and accountability, the company called on those making such allegations to provide credible evidence.
GACL warned that it would not hesitate to pursue legal action against any media outlet, individual, or organisation responsible for what it described as “intentional or mischievous publications” aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the company and its leadership.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and the integrity of operations at KIA, urging the public to disregard unfounded claims.
