Managing Editor of The Herald newspaper, Larry Dogbey, has slammed the Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, accusing him of making unsubstantiated claims to gain political relevance.

Dogbey’s criticism follows Fordjour’s recent press conference, where he called for full disclosure on an alleged National Security operation involving two suspicious aircraft that landed at Kotoka International Airport in March 2025.

Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV, Dogbey questioned Fordjour’s credibility and accused him of making reckless statements without verifying facts.

“What I make of Rev Ntim Fordjour in the last few weeks of him becoming the ranking member is somebody who is struggling to be noticed, someone who is struggling to establish himself politically.

“Some of the things he says are very, very outrageous, without cross-checking his facts before putting people on the spot,” Dogbey stated.

Fordjour, alongside the Minority Caucus, has been leading calls for transparency regarding reports of a National Security raid on a warehouse in Sapeiman. The operation allegedly uncovered twelve 20-foot containers filled with gold bars and an unspecified amount of cash.

Additionally, he has demanded an urgent briefing on the cargo carried by two aircraft—AirMed Flight N823AM and Cavok Air Antonov An-12B—suspected of transporting cocaine and cash into the country.

Despite these claims, Dogbey remains skeptical of Fordjour’s approach, suggesting his recent outbursts are more about political positioning than genuine accountability.

While National Security has yet to respond to the allegations, the reported raid and aircraft continue to spark controversy.
