The Minority caucus in Parliament has urged National Security to swiftly release details on two aircraft suspected of smuggling cocaine and cash into Ghana.
The flights in question—AirMed flight N823AM and Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B—allegedly landed at Kotoka International Airport from Gran Canaria, Spain, before departing on March 25, 2025.
In a statement, the caucus noted intelligence has revealed that the AirMed flight N823AM, an air ambulance, did not transport any patients but allegedly carried suspicious cargo suspected to contain cocaine and US dollars.
“There is no evidence of any medical referral or patient on board. Rather, our intelligence suggests that the aircraft was used to smuggle illicit cargo,” the Minority stated.
For the Cavok Air’s Antonov An-12B, the caucus noted it landed on 12th March and remained in Ghana for 13 days before departing on the same day as the AirMed flight.
The Minority described the coincidence as “intriguing” and called for a full disclosure of the cargo transported.
“In our collective quest to combat drug trafficking and money laundering, transparency must be upheld. We urge National Security to provide details of the cargo brought into and taken out of the country by these two aircraft,” the Minority demanded.
