At least 100 Ghanaian migrants have joined the deadly terrorist group – the Islamic State – in Libya.
According to the Minority in Ghana’s parliament, the figures were picked from a report from the Libyan government through its attorney general.
Speaking to the media Tuesday in Parliament, the Minority spokesperson on Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa tasked the government to collaborate with its Libyan counterpart to address the issue before it escalates to Ghana.
He said the Ghanaian converts are “frontline fighters” for ISIS, adding the West African country has been paired in same category as Senegal, Gambia, Somalia, Chad, Niger, Eritrea and Mali.
“What is more unnerving; the special enquiry found that kidnappings of expatriates were mostly carried out by Islamic State foreign fighters from Ghana, Turkey and Tunisia.
“This dreadful report highlights of which was presented to a packed room of international journalists a few days ago must necessarily trigger a number of immediate actions from our government – actions which all Ghanaians must demand in our collective national interest,” Mr. Ablakwa told the media.
The Minority is therefore calling on the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government to “publicly react to this enquiry by the Libyan attorney general’s office due to its grave ramifications to Ghana’s image.”
He added: “Government must provide the needed assurances to Ghanaians and our international security partners that this matter is receiving very high level attention.”
The government is yet to respond to the issue.

I have noticed that whenever Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa,raises his hands and shakes his head whiles talking, Be sure that he is telling lies and spreading falsehood.NDC and Politics have turned Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa into a big time liar.
WHEN WE CRITICISED THE TWO TERRORISTS BROUGHT TO GHANA BY MAHAMA NDC GOVERNMENT, NDC DEFENDED THE ACTION. NOW THEY HAVE RECRUITED GHANAIANS TO JOIN ISIS AND NDC IS TALKING WHAT DO THEY WASNTS US TO DO.
is this guy corrrectt?
Ablakwa has chosen to tread on this road of panic and fear. Severally, he is been preaching fear at all press conferences held by ndc which had to do with the security of the state. Mr Ablakwa, no matter what you do, the independent prosecutor will be waiting for you. If he or she does please do not say the govt is persecuting you because of these nostalgic press conferences. The country will.not fall for your bait.
somebody should tell this man that those Ghanaians didn't join this year
Look at his" palm nut soup face" he only wants to create fear and panic in this country.fuckingg mammal
These bunch of gadflies must learn to amend their crooked ways. They are constantly engaging in this gambit or another. This current one is a type of tactic known as "confirmation bias". They predict doom, and when it fails to happen then they say "our prediction didn't happen because of our persistent warning. Our warning our worked. But if on the other hand it does happen (God forbid), then they say "we told you so, you failed to heed our warning. Thus, either way, they win. It is these sorts of dirty maneuvers that they teach at their so called ideological school. In any case, this subject is a high-end security matter, and any serious person who is minded to be so useful, will do better. Impossible behaviour! Irritating!
as for you this sharp teeth MP what is it again. we are taliking about Free SHS, Nurses Alawa and other good stuff and you say ISIS. take whatever you picked to the floor of paliment for proper debate .
Your past terrorist statement made about Ghana being a possible country that terrorist could attack changed our morning jogging route from Ayimensah to Peduase. Immediately after that statement, police are placed on portion of the road to move people away from Presidential Lodge. This has affected business around the area and you think you are doing this to discredit Akofo Addo's government.
