Mr. Adu Gyamfi, a leading member of the Concerned Citizens of Assin South, has strongly condemned the recent actions of National Security and the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), who reportedly stormed the residence of Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for the Assin South Constituency, in an attempt to arrest him.
This incident follows the MP’s explosive allegations of money laundering and drug trafficking involving two suspicious aircraft, including an air ambulance and a private jet. His claims have stirred public debate and appear to have led to the tense standoff at his residence.
Speaking at a press conference held in Nyankumasi Ahenkro, Mr. Gyamfi described the attempted arrest as “unwarranted” and “a blatant abuse of power.” He said the actions of the security agencies not only infringed on the liberty of the MP but also sent a dangerous message to all Ghanaians who value truth, transparency, and the protection of national interest.
According to Mr. Gyamfi, the group views the development not just as an attack on an individual but as a direct affront to the entire Assin South Constituency. He warned that any attempt to prosecute Rev. Ntim Fordjour would be seen as an effort to silence the people and undermine the core principles of Ghana’s democracy.
The Concerned Citizens are demanding an immediate halt to any further intimidation or arrest attempts targeting their MP. Mr. Gyamfi also called on Parliament, civil society organizations, and all democracy-loving citizens to speak out against what he described as a misuse of state power.
Reaffirming their support for the MP, the group assured Rev. Ntim Fordjour that he is not alone. Mr. Gyamfi praised the MP’s courage in bringing sensitive matters to light, noting that his commitment to truth reflects the values and integrity of the people he represents.
The controversy stems from a recent press conference held by Rev. Ntim Fordjour in his capacity as Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee. During the event, he alleged that two aircraft had been involved in suspicious and possibly illicit activities, raising questions about national security and accountability.
In response, President John Dramani Mahama directed all security agencies to collaborate with the MP to investigate the matter and uncover the truth behind the allegations.
