Ranking Member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is warning of a looming threat of terrorist attack on Ghana.
His warning comes at the back of a travel advisory on the website of the Canadian Embassy in Ghana cautioning Canadian citizens wanting to travel to the former Gold Coast over a looming threat of terrorist attack on Ghana and the need to be conscious of their surroundings in public places.
“There is a threat of terrorism. Terrorist targets could include shopping malls, government buildings, public areas such as bars, restaurants, hotels and sites frequented by Westerners. Be aware of your surroundings in public places,” the travel advisory on the Canadian Embassy in Ghana in part noted.
The Embassy further advised the Canadian citizenry to exercise a high degree of caution in Ghana and maintain a high level of security awareness at all times stating among other things pickpocketing, purse snatching and attacks by individuals on motorbikes that are increasing in Accra and its surroundings, including areas around the High Commission of Canada.
“Violent crimes have also increased, including armed robbery. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone or displaying signs of wealth. Home invasions are on the rise. Affluent areas in Accra where foreigners live are targeted and some thieves carry firearms.
There have been recent cases of violent robberies often targeting foreigners travelling in taxis at night. If you have to use a taxi, ensure that there is no other passenger in the car and try to limit trips to daytime hours,” the Canadian Embassy in Ghana further noted on its website.
Ablakwa who is the lawmaker for North Tongu worried about this looming terrorist threat, therefore, wants the Ghanaian Government to adequately brief its citizenry on the true security situation in the country for them to be aware of places of a possible target and the need to be conscious visiting those places.
“I other countries, they don’t keep quiet on this potential threat. They announce it, they raise alert levels and announce precautionary measures for citizen to take. It is my hope the Ghanaian Government will take a cue and make sure that we get to the bottom of the matter,” he noted.
He made this revelation on the sidelines of Wednesday’s Parliamentary sitting.

Huuuuuuuuu! It is the work of the ndc. Ndc are so hopeless they don't know what to do after politics. Their only intention in politics is to create looot and share. Ndc are so desperate and frustrated in opposition that they are actually depressed and think they can do whatever to distabilize the country but it will never work for them.
we have to let this happen, after all, we always brag of Ghanaian hospitality. So let them come and cause mayhem. Because we have decided to be ***barred word*** people and open our doors to anybody. Chinese galamseyers, Nigerian internet fraudsters, fulani herdsmen, Gitmo terorists, lebanese pepper-into-face-sprinklers, Togolese voter-imposters, Burkinabe Ford car (2nd hand, not brand new) bribing contractorsMalaysian telecom face-spitters. All are WELCOME to enjoy Ghanaian hospitality! We are ready to host anybody who is willing to take us for FUUUUUULLLLLS. Because we are FUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLS!!!!!
Why did Mahama make Ghana free visa entry for all african countries? Is that not contributing to the threats? What did you tell Mahama when he was doing that?
We don't need Canada to warn us of terrorism, it's happening live and colored in the flagstaff house under the nose of the president. Delta forces as well as other NPP forces are already on rampage, so what warning do we need again. The president himself is a terrorist.
Law & Order: Who told u so? Okudzeto Ablakwa: My massa Kanada L&O: Did you confirm with Ghana security? OA: No L&O: Why Not? OA: They are ***barred word*** because they do not have the means to confirm L&O: What are you doing to protect us OA: I do not have the means to do anything L&O:You are ***barred word*** too
@Lawrence, are you sure you didn't have too much to eat?
Never mind! Those so called terrorists are only interested in demolishing teeth. Hence, national security has made arrangements to offer two persons when the terrorists arrive. Guess who the two persons are?..........
Is it your mother or father who is bringing the terrorist to Ghana?
