The Centre for Democratic Movement (CDM) has warned that Ghana could risk being branded a "Cocaine Coast" if allegations surrounding suspicious international flights are not swiftly and thoroughly addressed.

The CDM cautioned that any perceived lapse in oversight could expose the country to heightened scrutiny of its travellers and exports, potentially dampen investor confidence, and inflict lasting reputational damage on the international stage.

“Ghana must not become a permissive corridor for narcotic trafficking,” the group asserted, urging the government to act decisively to protect the nation's integrity.

The group called for full disclosure from the Civil Aviation Authority and the National Security Secretariat regarding the reported flights. It further demanded that Parliament initiate a transparent, non-partisan inquiry, with support from international partners if necessary.

The CDM also urged the Mahama-led administration to immediately publish all pertinent flight, cargo, and clearance documents linked to the controversy in order to assure the public of government transparency.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has strongly refuted allegations made by Assin South MP, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, concerning suspected drug trafficking and money laundering involving two aircraft that reportedly passed through Ghana in March.

In a detailed social media post, Kwakye Ofosu dismissed the MP’s claims as “wild” and “baseless,” accusing the New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker of spreading deliberate disinformation in an attempt to tarnish the image of the Mahama administration.

“In the last few days, the disinformation machine of the New Patriotic Party has been ramped up, and they've taken it a notch higher. Reverend Ntim Fordjour has made wild claims that two aircraft that passed through Ghana were carrying drugs and were involved in money laundering. He even called for investigations,” Kwakye Ofosu stated.

He emphasized that President John Mahama welcomed the call for transparency and urged the MP to submit any available evidence to the relevant security agencies for investigation. However, Kwakye Ofosu noted that under closer scrutiny, the MP eventually retracted his claims.
