GACL breaks silence on suspicious flights claims

-

The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has strongly denied allegations that two flights landing at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) were involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.

In a statement, GACL management confirmed that after thorough checks, no illegal substances were found on the flights.

The company emphasized that all proper procedures were followed during the inspection.

The controversy arose from claims made by Rev. Ntim Fordjour, who alleged that the aircraft in question were linked to drug trafficking and money laundering activities.

According to Rev. Fordjour, citing intelligence sources, the aircraft might have been transporting illicit substances, including cocaine, as well as large sums of U.S. dollars.

However, GACL has dismissed these allegations as “malicious and baseless attempts to discredit the company.” The statement further clarified that multiple state agencies were involved in the inspection of the aircraft, assuring the public of the thoroughness of the process.

Additionally, GACL rejected claims of any involvement by its Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, with Rev. Fordjour, stating that she has “never met or had any communication with him.”

The company urged individuals and institutions making such allegations to provide credible evidence and warned against spreading misinformation.

GACL also made it clear that it would not hesitate to take legal action to protect its corporate reputation and that of its Managing Director.
