Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has asserted that Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin South Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, will be hauled into custody if he fails to honour an invitation from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to assist in investigations into his allegations of suspicious flights in Ghana.
In an interview on Citi FM, Kwakye Ofosu countered claims made by Ntim Fordjour that he was never invited by the NIB to assist in their investigations.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, the invitation was sent through the Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who agreed to ensure he appears before the NIB but later went back on his word, insisting Ntim Fordjour had spoken in his capacity as a member of the Defence and Intelligence Committee.
Despite this, the NIB has formally requested Fordjour’s presence for questioning.
“If he says he was not invited, it is not true. The NIB has written to the Speaker and asked for his release for investigation. He will definitely go. If he doesn’t, they will arrest him, and when he does, he should present the stories he is telling,” Kwakye Ofosu asserted.
The Minister was quick to add that the MP had made false claims regarding two aircraft allegedly transporting drugs and money into the country, causing agitation amongst citizens.
“The last thing an MP should be doing is peddling such childish lies. They are not just lies; they are childish. How do you claim such things without providing a shred of evidence?” he remarked.
Kwakye Ofosu further accused Fordjour of using Parliament as a tool for propaganda, stating, “He is engaging in childish propaganda. Lies that do not make any sense. If there was any evidence, he would have presented it before anyone invited him.”
The case remains under investigation, with growing pressure on Fordjour to provide evidence or retract his claims.
