Kofi
Adams, General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress
(NDC), has called on the security services to tighten security at the
country's borders.
According to him, the National Security should
mount surveillance on the borders of Ghana in order to avert any
possible invasion from the Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram.
“As a country, this is the time for the National Security to make sure that they deploy informants on the borders," he said.
Speaking on U TV’s Adekye Nsroma
Morning Show, Kofi Adams expressed concern about the upsurge of threats
by the Islamic sect, stressing that their activities are despicable and
thus the country should be wary of their activities.
He also
called on the African Union and ECOWAS to establish a joint African
Force which will counter the savagery of Boko Haram. He was of the view
that the presence of a highly-equipped and trained African Command will
help fortify the African continent against any act of terrorism.
Reports
on Wednesday indicated that Boko Haram rebels had killed about 300
people in the town of Gamboru Ngala, Chibok. It is the same area where
more than 200 girls and women were abducted from a school last month.
Further
addressing the issue of the abduction of over 200 girls by Boko Haram,
Kofi Adams chided the leader of the group for claiming to have abducted
the children to punish Nigeria because the Nigerian State has infused
western culture with their culture.
“Meanwhile you’re fighting
western education. If you’re fighting against western education that
western education is bad, why are you speaking Western language?...Why
are you communicating in western language?” Kofi Adams questioned.
He
also welcomed the intervention of the international community to
salvage the situation but however warned them not to take advantage of
the Nigerian government.
