Haruna Mohammed backs Rev. Ntim Fordjour’s claims on suspicious aircraft

Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has affirmed that there is substantial evidence to validate claims made by Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, regarding two aircraft allegedly involved in illicit drug trafficking and money laundering in Ghana.

The controversy unfolded on April 9, 2025, when National Investigations Bureau (NIB) officials attempted to arrest Rev. Fordjour at his Spintex residence in Accra, following his public allegations about the suspicious aircraft that landed at the Kotoka International Airport.

However, the situation was truncated by prompt intervention from minority caucus of parliament and NPP executives, who argued that the NIB operatives lacked an arrest warrant and failed to follow due process.

Haruna Mohammed stood by Rev. Fordjour’s position in an interview on Channel One TV’s “The Big Issue” with Selorm Adonoo on April 12, 2025.

He confirmed that essential details and evidence had been shared with the minority leadership, stating, “I know he (Rev. Ntim Fordjour) had meetings with the Minority, he has given them adequate information. I have had cause to participate in some of the meetings… I’m telling you that there’s enough evidence to back Rev. Ntim Fordjour’s claim.”

Mohammed further assured that Rev. Fordjour would provide more information at the appropriate time, saying, “And I’m telling you that at the appropriate time, when the conditions are settled and the right platform is created, Rev. Ntim Fordjour will provide the right information that will lead to the traces of which this press conference was done.”
