Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has accused operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) of attempting to arrest Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
In a social media post, Frimpong condemned the incident, using the hashtag “#SayNoToStateIntimidation,” alleging that the action was politically motivated.
A video circulating on social media showed several armed men, wearing bulletproof vests with NIB insignia, reportedly standing outside Rev. Ntim Fordjour’s residence.
Fordjour, who serves as a prominent member of Parliament’s Security and Defence Committee, has recently been embroiled in controversy over his allegations involving two suspicious flights connected to drug trafficking and money laundering activities.
The flights, which landed at Kotoka International Airport, have attracted significant attention after Fordjour claimed they were involved in illicit operations.
Rev. Fordjour had previously linked two foreign aircraft—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B—to suspected cocaine trafficking in Ghana.
These claims have sparked both national and international investigations, though they have also generated political tension and scrutiny.
The NIB operation has fueled further debates, with accusations that the move is politically charged, complicating the discourse surrounding the state’s handling of allegations of criminal activity.
