Ghana is not immune to terrorist attack – National Security  

The Coordinator of the ‘See Something Say Something’ campaign of the National Security, says Ghana being the only country within the West Africa sub-region that has not suffered terrorist attacks does not mean it is immune to the attacks. 

She said that informed the introduction of the ‘See Something Say Something campaign’ to encourage the citizens to report suspected security issues in their localities for swift action.  

Madam Sekyere said this during a meeting with religious leaders in the Wa Municipality as part of a regional sensitisation tour by the National Security to educate the public on the ‘See Something Say Something’ campaign.

She said National Security was carrying out a nationwide citizen sensitisation on the ‘See Something Say Something’ campaign to enable the citizens to enhance their security consciousness.  

She said government, through the National Security, had deviated from the “whole-of-government” approach where government took charge of national security issues to the “whole-of-society” approach by bringing citizens on board to volunteer information on security issues when necessary.  

She observed that the issue of security was a shared responsibility and advanced the importance of engaging the communities for the people to appreciate the need to complement the efforts of government in safeguarding national security. 

Kester Osei, a Team Member, educated the people on the accurate reporting of suspected security issues and introduced them to the “SALUTE” reporting format.
