The Minority caucus in Parliament has called on National Security to urgently disclose details of two aircraft suspected of transporting cocaine and cash into Ghana.
The flights in question—AirMed flight N823AM and Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B—reportedly landed at the Kotoka International Airport from Gran Canaria, Spain, before departing on 25th March 2025.
According to intelligence intercepted by the Minority, AirMed flight N823AM, an air ambulance, did not transport any patients but allegedly carried suspicious cargo suspected to contain cocaine and US dollars.
“There is no evidence of any medical referral or patient on board. Rather, our intelligence suggests that the aircraft was used to smuggle illicit cargo,” the Minority stated.
The statement further raised concerns about Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B, which landed on 12th March and remained in Ghana for thirteen days before departing on the same day as the AirMed flight.
The Minority described the coincidence as “intriguing” and called for a full disclosure of the cargo transported.
“In our collective quest to combat drug trafficking and money laundering, transparency must be upheld. We urge National Security to provide details of the cargo brought into and taken out of the country by these two aircraft,” the Minority demanded.
The call follows a recent interception of $350 million worth of cocaine in Cape Coast by the National Investigations Bureau, an operation the Minority praised for its transparency.
