The Ghanaian Chronicle says information reaching it indicates that Group Captain Richard Fordwour, the man whose name evoked fear in the military brass during ex-President Jerry Rawlings 20-year throttlehold on power has fled the country, two weeks after officially resigning from the Ghana Air Force.
Sources told the paper that he tendered in his resignation days into his leave period, which he began barely a month ago.
The letter was addressed to the Air Force Commander and copied to the Commander of Defence Services (CDS), Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and the Minister Secretary (MS).
Until his unannounced exit, 48-year-old Fordwour, known in close circles as “Arekpo”, and a close confidante of Rawlings, was the Deputy Commander of the Air Force station, Accra International Airport.
