Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour says he is not intimidated by the government’s attempt to arrest him over his comment on the two suspicious AIRMED aircraft which landed in Ghana some weeks ago.
Rev Ntim Fordjour, who is also the Ranking Member on the Defense and Interior Committee in Parliament at a minority press conference on April 1, 2025, alleged that the two aircrafts, which recently landed in the country, might be involved in money laundering and illicit drug trafficking, asking government to investigate the matter.
An attempted arrest by operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) and police officers at his home on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, was botched by the efforts of the minority Caucus and leadership of the NPP.
Commenting on the matter for the first time in an interview on Top Story on Joy FM, the MP said he is unfazed by the events of the past few days.
“This is our most sacred duty. It is our constitutional mandate and so we have to discharge it most conscientiously at all times in all boldness without fear of any state attack that is not warranted. So we’ll continue to discharge our duties.” He said
When asked whether he is intimidated, he responded, “Not at all. Why should I be intimidated? I am not. I am doing my job. I am exercising my parliamentary oversight in a most sincere and circumspect way.”
Rev. Ntim Fordjour also revealed that he is yet to talk to them about whether the NIB has sent a letter to parliament seeking to interrogate him.
"That is a conversation we will have. But I’m saying that we’re still in the discharge of our duty. We are not afraid. Everyone has already had their opinion on the lawless manner in which armed thugs purportedly coming from the NIB had to invade my home without a warrant. But that is a conversation we will have another day,” he revealed.
It is still unclear whether Speaker Bagbin has received an official communication from the NIB to arrest and interrogate the Assin South MP over his comment.
The Speaker is yet to respond to the minority caucus’s petition to his office over the botched arrest.
