Background
The Minority in Parliament has called for full disclosure from National Security regarding two flights that landed in Ghana in early March and later departed for Gran Canaria, a Spanish island, on March 25, 2025.
The flights—an air ambulance and a private jet—allegedly remained in the country for several days, raising suspicions about their purpose and cargo.
Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, has demanded transparency regarding these aircraft, expressing concerns that they may have been used for drug trafficking or money laundering.
According to intelligence reports, on March 20, 2025, an air ambulance, Air MED flight L823 AM, landed at Kotoka International Airport and remained in Ghana for five days. However, there is no evidence indicating that the aircraft carried a patient upon arrival or departure.
Similarly, a private jet, Antonov 12B, landed at Kotoka International Airport on March 12, 2025, from Gran Canaria and stayed in Ghana for 13 days before departing at 6:40 AM on March 25, 2025.
Notably, both the air ambulance and the private jet departed on the same day to the same destination, further fueling suspicions.
The Minority is demanding full transparency regarding the cargo transported by these aircraft and has called for an urgent investigation to ensure that Ghana does not become a hub for illicit activities.
