Gov’t putting up measures to ward off any terror threat – Akufo-Addo assures

President Akufo-Addo has assured Ghanaians of government’s resolve  to put in place all the needed measures to equip the security agencies to prevent any terror attack on the country.

Addressing a meeting with the Ghanaians community in Toronto, Canada, President Akufo-Addo said, “we are doing our best to provide them with minimum equipment, minimum mobility and also logistical equipment………especially now that we are having problems on our North-East border because of the issues in Burkina Faso and the downward movement of the jihadist in West Africa.”

The President’s statement follows a security alert issued by the Africa Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies (ACSIS) that the Salafi Jihadist group based in Burkina Faso had been moving in and out of Ghana through the border with Burkina Faso over the past four months.
