GACL Denies Involvement in Alleged Drug Trafficking Scandal at Kotoka International Airport
The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has categorically denied allegations linking it to drug trafficking activities at Kotoka International Airport (KIA). These claims, which surfaced from Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, a ranking member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, allege that two aircraft recently landed at KIA carrying illegal substances.
In a strongly worded statement, GACL dismissed the allegations as baseless and damaging to its reputation. They clarified that security screenings conducted by Aviation Security and National Security revealed no trace of illegal substances onboard the said aircraft. GACL emphasized that aircraft landing permits are the responsibility of the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and National Security—not GACL.
Taking a firm stance, GACL also disassociated its Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare, from any connections with Rev. Fordjour, stating that there has been no prior communication or meeting between them. The company is considering legal action against those propagating what it called “malicious misinformation.”
The issue has sparked mixed reactions across Ghana and Nigeria, where aviation safety and integrity remain crucial topics. GACL reassured the public of its commitment to maintaining the highest standards in Ghana’s aviation industry.
For Ghanaians, this matter resonates with calls for accountability and integrity in public institutions, while Nigerians may draw parallels to their own aviation and border control challenges.
