PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA CHARGES SECURITY AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE ALLEGATION OF DRUG TRAFFICKING THROUGH KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
President John Mahama has called on security agencies to investigate reports of drug smuggling activities at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
This is contained in a post on Facebook on April 1.
“My attention has been drawn to allegations made at a press conference by an honourable Member of Parliament, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, regarding two suspicious flights arriving at the Kotoka International Airport 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 provides all necessary information to investigate the allegations and take all action necessary to expose any drug dealing,” President Mahama directed.
The President assured that “We will maintain zero tolerance for using Ghana as a transit or final destination for drugs or drug trafficking. The NIB made a high-profile bust of drugs last week, with a street value of $350 million.”
