Describing the claims as a deliberate attempt to deceive the public, Col Aboagye likened the narrative to a failed April Fool’s prank, warning that such unfounded assertions only harm the credibility of the nation’s leadership.
He questioned the integrity of making public pronouncements without credible intelligence or evidence to support them.
Rev Ntim Fordjour, who is also the Member of Parliament for Assin South, alleged that two suspicious aircrafts landed in Ghana between March 20 and 25, 2025, possibly carrying cocaine and large sums of money.
He further claimed that an air ambulance had arrived in the country without transporting any patients.
However, Col Aboagye criticized the government’s handling of the situation, describing the response from relevant state institutions as sluggish and lacking transparency.
“If this is the caliber of people who govern Ghana, then we are doomed,” he said on TV3’s Key Points programme on April 12, suggesting that the allegations had no basis and were merely a distraction.
He further urged authorities such as the police, EOCO, Narcotics Control Commission, and the Financial Intelligence Centre to take proactive roles in addressing such claims rather than reacting under pressure.
The incident has sparked public debate, with many questioning the motives behind Rev Fordjour’s statements and calling for thorough investigations to restore public trust.
