Following recent terror attacks against Ghana’s immediate neighbours Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire, the National Security Council has decided that Ghana faces a potential terrorist attack, and therefore has decided to raise the level of terror readiness in the country.
The decision was reached following a meeting on Tuesday that was chaired by the President, John Dramani Mahama.
Concern has been widespread amongst Ghanaians over such potential threats, considering radical jihadists have hit three West African nations within the past six months, Mali, Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire. All three attacks occurred at affluent locations which are usually frequented by Westerners.
The meeting decided, based on intelligence briefings received, that Ghana is at threat of a terrorist attack, and thus raised the level of readiness. A statement issued by government after the meeting called on Ghanaians to bear with security measures that might be implemented to combat this threat.
It also called on the public to be cautious, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.
