Suspicious Flight Saga: NIB now following due process in Fordjour's interrogation – Afenyo-Markin

Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has confirmed that the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has opted to follow due process after initial concerns were raised about their approach to handling the drug trafficking claims linked to the Assin South MP, Rev John Ntim Fordjour.

In an interview on Joy FM on April 10, 2025, the Minority Leader disclosed that after engagements with the NIB, they agreed to apply the necessary legal and parliamentary protocols in handling the matter.

“This matter, I am reliably informed, that a letter has been conveyed to the Speaker’s office. The known procedure will be followed, and we will take it from there,” he said.

“Let us allow due process. One day, you may be out of power, and you’ll be calling for due process. That is my message to my colleagues,” he added.

Afenyo-Markin explained that the leadership of the Minority had expressed concern over how the initial stages of the matter were being handled, particularly regarding alleged attempts to arrest the Member of Parliament without following parliamentary procedures.

He, however, clarified that there was never an issue of resisting arrest, as widely reported, but rather a call for the right procedures to be followed after their engagements with the authorities.

“It is not a matter of resisting arrest. There’s no issue of resisting arrest. We were concerned and as the leader of my caucus, I engaged the authorities and pointed out the law and the protocols. They agreed to the due process, which they have now initiated,” he explained.
