Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev.
John Ntim Fordjour, is demanding answers from Ghana's top security and legal institutions over what he describes as deafening silence on the prosecution of traffickers involved in $500 million worth of cocaine busts reported earlier this year.
Taking to social media platform X, the outspoken MP applauded recent anti-drug efforts by the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), but called out the lack of progress on far larger cases that appear to have gone cold. "How far with the prosecution of the half a billion dollar cocaine busts?" he quizzed. "Now we hear commendable commitment from NACOC towards making our ports no-go for drug trafficking.
The question to NACOC and NIB is, what happened to the prosecution of traffickers of big busts totaling half a billion dollars earlier this year?" His comments came just hours after news broke that NACOC had intercepted a significant drug shipment at the Swiss Port in Tema.
