Ntim Fordjour demands answers on 320kg meth seizure in Australia linked to Ghana

In a social media post on June 19, 2026, Fordjour stated that this seizure validates his previous warnings about Ghana potentially becoming a transit point for international drug trafficking, concerns he claims were previously dismissed by officials and supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress. He described the incident as damaging to Ghana's international reputation and urged the Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Narcotics Control Commission NACOC, and the Bureau of National Investigations BNI to account to the public. This demand follows NACOC's confirmation that it is investigating the interception of the drugs, which were reportedly hidden in a charcoal shipment from Ghana.

Australian authorities have charged three individuals in connection with the case, with the seized consignment valued at approximately A$296 million.
