Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has accused the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, Rev.
John Ntim Fordjour, of deliberately spreading misinformation regarding alleged "suspicious aircraft" that landed at Kotoka International Airport.
Speaking on the issue on Thursday, April 3, Kwakye Ofosu stated that Fordjour has now distanced himself from his earlier claims after being invited to assist with investigations. "I can report to you that because he knew he was peddling total falsehoods and lies, he now claims after being invited to assist with investigations that he was speaking on behalf of the committee that he was part of and that the views he expressed were not his personal views, so because of that he says he is unable to cooperate with the security agencies," he remarked.
The controversy stems from Fordjour's demand for an urgent briefing on the contents of two aircraft-AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B-which he alleged were transporting cocaine and cash into the country.
