Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, the Member of Parliament for Assin South, has condemned the recent presence of National Investigations Bureau (NIB) operatives at his home, calling it a "lawless act" aimed at intimidating him.

"Thank you very much HE Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the visit to my residence this evening following the politically-motivated lawless act of harassment in the attempt of the NDC government to gag MPs from exercising their legitimate oversight," Fordjour posted.

On April 9, the NIB officers allegedly raided the residence of the MP, who also serves as the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee.

Rev. Ntim Fordjour’s claims about the two aircraft landings had earlier triggered strong political debate, with government officials dismissing the accusations as baseless. However, the attempted arrest has heightened tensions, raising concerns over the treatment of opposition voices.

Ntim Fordjour has described the incident as a politically motivated attempt to undermine his position and suppress his oversight role as a legislator.

In his statement on social media, he expressed his gratitude to former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who visited him in solidarity after the unsettling event.
