In Ghana, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, a member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, said that the government ignored intelligence which, according to him, he had provided regarding a recent cocaine seizure linked to the country. In his view, ignoring this information could embolden drug traffickers operating in Ghana.
