Mike Adenuga's Dassault Falcon 8X, registered VP-CPD, was tracked flying from Lomé–Tokoin International Airport to Kotoka International Airport in Accra on June 28, 2026, a short 18-minute hop of 442 knots peak ground speed. The aircraft, nicknamed 'Sisi Paris', is one of several in the billionaire's fleet.

If aboard, Mike Adenuga would land in Ghana the same week a new profile by Billionaires.Africa examined his famously opaque business structure, describing him as 'The Quiet Colossus' and noting the most opaque continuity plan in African wealth [billionaires.africa](https://www.billionaires.africa/2026/06/19/wealth-intelligence-mike-adenuga-the-quiet-colossus/). The timing suggests, should he have been on the flight, a possible visit to his Accra residence or meetings related to his pan-African telecom and oil holdings.

Adenuga regularly shuttles between Lagos, Abuja, Accra, and London. His recent flights show a European swing—Paris and Belgrade—before returning to West Africa. Accra is a recurring destination, likely tied to his real estate investments and Globacom's regional presence, though no public appearance or event has been confirmed.
