Paga Youth Movement Raises Security Concerns Over Mysterious US Aircraft at Ghana Airstrip
The Paga Youth Movement has expressed serious security concerns regarding a US-origin aircraft with tail number 60171, which has repeatedly landed at the Paga airstrip over three days. Residents reported that the aircraft would take off when approached, increasing local anxiety.
On December 31, 2025, district security agencies, including the Ghana Police and National Intelligence Bureau, attempted to intercept the aircraft, but its occupants refused to cooperate. The Regional Police High Command allegedly ordered local security to allow the aircraft to take off, designating it as a 'national security aircraft.'
The youth movement claims the aircraft is linked to the US Army and suspects it may be carrying arms towards Burkina Faso. They demand clarification from national authorities regarding the aircraft's identity, mission, and cargo, emphasizing the need for transparency to alleviate community fears.
