A Human rights organisation, National Forum for Equity, has called on government and stakeholders to handle threats of terror attacks in the North as a national emergency.
“The latest report of terrorists scheming to penetrate into the northern regions of the country to cause their usual havoc must not be taken lightly,” a statement by President of the Forum, Prince Bagnaba Mba, cautioned.
While calling on all people living peacefully in Ghana to be on the alert, and provide the necessary information to counter this looming danger.
According to Mba, “there is no smoke without fire and we need to be red-alert at all times to ward off any danger.
“This is the time to mobilize the teeming unemployed youth for extra awareness on security within the borders area. The issue is very important, non-partisan and very much essential for the peace and development of the country.
Mr. Mba stressed the need for Ghana to learn from the experiences of neighbouring countries and remain ahead by being proactive.
“To be an oasis of peace in volatile zone calls for all-inclusive consciousness, planning and prevention. Standing armies have never won the war against terrorism”.
