Amid ongoing discussions about suspicious flights allegedly linked to drug trafficking at Kotoka International Airport (KIA), Akosua Manu, former Deputy CEO of the National Youth Authority, has raised concerns regarding inconsistencies in the Government Spokesperson’s statements.
Akosua Manu took to social media platform X to address the issue, pointing out a discrepancy in the aircraft registration numbers presented by the Government Spokesperson. She noted that the aircraft under scrutiny bears the registration number N823AM, while the Hon. Member of Parliament for the Abura Asebu-Kwamankese Constituency referenced a different aircraft, N864AM. In her post, she questioned: “Why is the aircraft number different? The one in discussion is N823AM. The one you have posted has N864AM.”
This query comes in the wake of allegations made by Hon. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of the Defense Committee, concerning the arrival of two suspicious flights at KIA. These flights are suspected to be involved in drug trafficking and money laundering activities.
President John Dramani Mahama has since directed security agencies to collaborate with Rev. Fordjour to investigate these claims thoroughly. However, this directive remains unclear, as Hon. Felix Ofosu Kwakye has pre-empted the investigation by insisting that the flights were not involved in any illegal activities, contrary to the allegations made by Hon. Rev. Ntim Fordjour. Security analysts have raised concerns about the prejudicial nature of the comments made by the Government Spokesperson.
