Security analyst, Prof Kwesi Aning has rubbished claims in a Reuters report alleging that Islamist militants from Burkina Faso are using northern Ghana as a base for logistical support.

The Reuters report claims that insurgents have been crossing into the Ghana area to access resources such as food, fuel, and medical care for injured fighters.

The publication suggested that this was all done with minimal interference from Ghanaian authorities who turned a blind eye to it.

Speaking on Joy FM's Top Story, the security consultant suspected the article formed part of a grand agenda to cause instability.
