The Minority in Parliament is demanding full disclosure from National Security regarding two flights that landed in Ghana in early March and departed for Gran Canaria, a Spanish island, on March 25.
The flights—an air ambulance and a private jet—allegedly remained in the country for several days before their departure, raising concerns over their purpose and cargo.
Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, John Ntim Fordjour, has called on authorities to reveal the contents of these aircraft, expressing suspicion that they may have been used for drug trafficking or money laundering.
According to him, intelligence suggests that on March 20, 2025, an air ambulance, Air MED flight L823 AM, landed at Kotoka International Airport and remained in Ghana for five days. However, there is no evidence that the aircraft carried any patient upon arrival or departure.
“There is no record of a medical referral, nor was any patient accompanied on board the flight. Instead, we are reliably informed that the air ambulance, which is specifically designed to transport patients, carried suspicious cargo suspected to be cocaine and cash in various U.S. denominations,” he claimed.
Mr Fordjour also raised concerns about a private jet, Antonov 12B, which landed at Kotoka International Airport on March 12, 2025, from Gran Canaria. The aircraft remained in Ghana for 13 days before departing at 6:40 AM on March 25, 2025—the same day as the air ambulance. The simultaneous departure of both aircraft to the same destination has fueled further suspicions, he noted.
The Minority is, therefore, demanding full transparency regarding the cargo these aircraft transported into and out of Ghana.
Additionally, they called for urgent investigations into the matter to ensure Ghana does not become a hub for illicit activities.
“The sudden increase in drug trafficking and money laundering incidents after the NPP government handed over power to the NDC is alarming. National security must uphold transparency to assure citizens of the safety and security of our airspace,” he stressed.
