The Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, has spoken out for the first time after the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) attempted to arrest him at his residence on Wednesday, April 9, 2025. Speaking after a press conference led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Rev Ntim Fordjour remained defiant. “The truth shall stand,” he told the media. The incident, which sparked swift backlash from fellow MPs and party leaders, ended with authorities retreating after a tense standoff. The NIB’s move followed Rev. Ntim Fordjour’s public allegations regarding two suspicious flights that landed at Kotoka International Airport. #amazingboyofficial

Burkina Faso's military government has said it foiled a "major plot" to overthrow junta leader Capt Ibrahim Traoré, with the army alleging the plotters were based in neighbouring Ivory Coast. Security Minister Mahamadou Sana said the coup attempt was led by current and former soldiers working with "terrorist leaders". The intention was to attack the presidential palace last week, he added. The aim of the plan was to "sow total chaos, and place the country under the supervision of an international organisation", Sana said on state television on Monday. It is the latest of several claims of attempts to remove the junta leader who seized power in 2022 amid increasing militant attacks. MAY ALLAH PROTECT CAPTAIN IBRAHIM TRAORE FOR AFRICA 🌍🤲❤️ #amazingboyofficial
