Dr. Kwasi Aning, a Ghanaian security analyst has hinted that the inability of Ghana to deal seriously with its drug related problems is giving way for terror groups such as Al Qaeda to enter the country to start a narcotics trade.
Dr. Kwasi Aning was speaking from Geneva, Switzerland, where he is currently attending a forum with US security experts on narcotics.
He said last year, three men belonging to the terrorist group, Islamic Maghreb were arrested in Ghana for trying to deal with undercover US intelligence agents they thought were part of a Colombian terrorist group.
According to Dr Aning, Al Qaeda and Islamic Maghreb are harbouring plans to buy large quantities of narcotics in Ghana.
Dr Aning said, Al Qaeda and the Islamic Maghreb is interested in bulk purchases of narcotics from Ghana, stressing that last year, some Americans were able to arrest three of these narco-terrorists through an undercover operation.
Dr Aning bemoaned the politicking of Ghana’s narcotics related problems, insisting that the only way for the country to clamp down on the canker is for all and sundry to acknowledge that it is a national problem and tackle it from that perspective.
END.
