The video, released by the government, showed an inspection of the Covak aircraft, which had been accused of transporting illegal substances upon its arrival in Ghana.
In the footage, officials were seen working on a flat tire that needed repair before the aircraft’s departure.
Manu, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), challenged the video’s credibility, claiming the aircraft’s tire had burst mid-air. She suggested the video was staged and accused the minister of misleading the public.
Manu also raised concerns over alleged drug-related activities, referencing the $400 million worth of cocaine reportedly passing through the country in the first quarter of the year.
In response, Kwakye Ofosu strongly refuted the claims, labeling Manu’s comments as part of a “propaganda agenda.” He clarified that the tire issue occurred after the aircraft landed, not mid-flight, as suggested by Manu.
“Typical propagandist,” Kwakye Ofosu stated on X. “You heard me clearly say in the video I posted that the aircraft had a flat tire after landing. Where did you hear anyone mention a tire burst in the air?”
