Sammy Gyamfi has called for the immediate arrest of Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, following allegations the legislator made about two aircraft allegedly connected to drug trafficking and money laundering activities.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme, the National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) insisted that Rev. Fordjour must either provide concrete evidence to back his claims or face legal consequences.

“In other jurisdictions, he would have been blacklisted,” Mr. Gyamfi asserted, stressing the seriousness of the matter. He argued that such allegations, if proven false, would not be taken lightly elsewhere and must not be overlooked in Ghana.

He further warned that Rev. Fordjour must comply with any National Security invitation to answer questions about his claims. “If he doesn’t honour the invitation [by National Security] to him and he thinks that he can hide behind his parliamentary privileges, he lie bad. Because he will be arrested. Some of us will insist that he is arrested and you must substantiate that,” he declared.

However, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee pushed back against Sammy Gyamfi’s demands, defending the Assin South MP and challenging the calls for his arrest.
