In a statement shared on X, President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to tackling drug-related crimes head-on. He has tasked key security agencies—including the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Police CID, the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), and the National Security Coordinator—to collaborate with Rev. Fordjour and conduct a thorough probe.
The President assured Ghanaians that his government remains resolute in its fight against illicit drug operations. He also referenced a recent $350 million drug bust by the NIB as proof of the government’s determination to root out drug trafficking networks.
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.
The unfolding investigation is expected to uncover the truth behind the controversial flights, as security agencies move swiftly to clamp down on illegal activities threatening the country’s reputation.
