The NDC Chairman in South Africa, Benjamin Kofi Quashie, has disclosed that the arrest of Asin South MP Rev. Ntim Fordjour is imminent.

According to Quashie, the necessary steps for his detention are almost complete, and Fordjour will soon be taken into custody.

Quashie made the statement during an appearance on JoyPrime's News Flash on Monday, April 7. This follows Fordjour’s allegations about some aircraft involved in drug trafficking and money laundering activities at the Kotoka International Airport.

“I can confidently say that the processes (to arrest him) are almost complete,” Quashie confirmed.

He added that although Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, who plays a key role in the process, is currently abroad, Quashie is confident that the arrest will proceed once Bagbin returns.

Rev. Fordjour, who is the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee in Parliament, made the allegations at a press conference, stating that certain aircraft had landed in the country for illegal activities, including drug trafficking and money laundering.

These accusations have caused a stir, especially within political circles, with many questioning the accuracy of Fordjour’s statements.

The government has dismissed the allegations, offering explanations regarding the circumstances under which the planes arrived and left Ghana.

Rev. Fordjour now faces increasing pressure to provide solid evidence to back up his claims. As the situation continues to unfold, further developments are expected, particularly after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) endorsed Fordjour’s claims and called for a thorough government investigation.
