Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament\u2019s Defence and Interior Committee, Peter Lanchene Toobu, has expressed support for Ghana\u2019s security agencies in their efforts to prevent insurgencies and maintain national security.<\/p>\n
His comments follow reports that Islamist militants from Burkina Faso are covertly using parts of northern Ghana for logistical and medical support as they continue their insurgency.<\/p>\n
Toobu, who is also the MP for Wa West, urged Ghanaians to trust the security apparatus and acknowledge the unseen efforts keeping the nation secure.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Accra initiative is an initiative with Burkina Faso, Niger and other countries in the Sahel region, who are involved and we share so much information for the sole stability of this region. In the parlance of security, it\u2019s not every information that we see on the surface like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever it is, if you wake up in the morning and there\u2019s still peace, you should know that somebody behind the scenes has worked so hard for you to have that peace. Probably you don\u2019t know what they do, you may be thinking from the superficial things that you see, the off-scenes you see. What we are saying is that there are a lot of things happening.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that have been done to ensure our country remains secure and safe. Let me assure you that the security agencies, we have professional police and Armed Forces and I think that all the security agencies in the country are not sleeping.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe collaboration with Burkina Faso is so solid and I believe that in the area of peace, we should be rest assured that they will not let the people of Ghana down,\u201d Toobu said.<\/span><\/p>\n Islamist Militants using Northern Ghana as base for logistical support \u2013 Sources reveal<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
