Ntim Fordjour’s Drug Flight Claims Traced to Frantic Voice Note in Family WhatsApp Group
Ghanaian airspace may be chaotic, but nowhere near as turbulent as Parliament this week, after MP John Ntim Fordjour accused two flights of smuggling drugs—allegedly based on an urgent WhatsApp audio sent by his father, a retired church elder and certified group admin. The message, cryptically tagged “Share With Believers,” warned of planes carrying “spiritual contraband” and instructed listeners to stay alert, especially if they noticed unusually white suitcases or pilots who refused to say “Amen.”
Ntim Fordjour, moved by the intensity of the background tongues in the audio, took to live television to demand investigations into the suspicious aircraft. When pressed for actual evidence, he cited the voice note’s timestamp (“3:16 a.m., a very spiritual hour”) and the fact that his father’s phone never gets viruses, so the message had to be true.
Fellow MP Dafeamekpor, clearly doubting both the logic and the Wi-Fi strength in the Fordjour household, responded with visible skepticism and one or two raised eyebrows strong enough to qualify as insults. Things spiraled further when Dafeamekpor attempted to counter Fordjour with a verse from Proverbs, leading to a theologically tense shouting match and a near-altar call on morning television.
The program briefly derailed when Fordjour attempted to play the voice note live on air, only for the audio to buffer repeatedly, summoning the wrath of both the host and Metro TV's internet gods. Meanwhile, airport officials report no sign of drugs—but Ntim Fordjour's New Patriotic Party are not backing away from the allegations, pointing to a TikTok comment by user ‘@CocaineDetective_99’.
