The National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS) has confirmed imminent
Al-Qaeda attack on Ghana calling for the beefing of security across the
country.
According to the National Security Council under the chairmanship of
President John Mahama, Ghana is the next target after the attack on Cote
d’Ivoire.
“Intelligence gathered by the National Security Council Secretariat
(NSCS) indicates a possible terrorist attack on the country is real,” a
statement dispatched to all Immigration commanders and other security agencies warned.
The statement which put all security agencies at the country entry
points on high alert was issued and signed last Saturday by Bonaventure
Agortimevor, the Director of Operations of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS),
even before the Nigerian
tele-evangelist, Prophet TB Joshua’s prophetic ‘vision’ which he shared with
his congregation on Sunday warning about a possible terrorist attack in Ghana
and Nigeria.
Prophet TB Joshua last Sunday on a live telecast at the Synagogue
Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Lagos, Nigeria said he had seen a vision that
there is going to be a terrorist attack in either his country Nigeria or Ghana
within the next few days.
The revelation sent panic down the spines of Ghanaians fearing about
the Al-Qaeda attack especially with the hosting of two Al-Qaeda terrorists
dispatched from Guantanamo Bay by the United States. That action exposes Ghana
to real danger of terrorist attack.
Possible Attack
According to the NSCS,“the
threat is reinforced by information and confessions obtained from interrogating
a Malian terrorist identified as the brain behind the Grand Bassam attacks in
Cote d‘Ivoire. The suspect is being investigated by the Ivorian security
agencies for terrorism,” the alert said further.
It said reports showed that “Ghana and Togo are the next targets after
the attacks in Burkina Faso and Cote d’Ivoire,” adding that “the choice of
Ghana according to the report is to take away the perception that only francophone countries are the target.”
Mode of Entry
“It is gathered that their mode of entry into countries with their explosives
and weapons is through concealment,” adding “They enter through approved and
unapproved points.”
“In the Ivorian attacks, they reportedly entered from Mali using a
Niger registered 4x4 vehicle. They reportedly concealed their weapons and
grenade in the vehicle’s compartment for a spare tyre padded with cushions and
bubble wraps to keep the weapons stable and prevent noise.”
Extra Vigilance
The NSCS has therefore, tasked all the security agencies to remain extra
vigilant especially those in the northern borders with Burkina Faso saying “you
are to conduct thorough profile of all persons arriving from the perceived
‘high risk’ countries within the region (Libya, Niger and Mali).”
The alert also tasked “the respective Border Patrol Units at the
Commands are to step up patrols along the unapproved routes.”
It further tasked the security agencies “to conduct thorough vehicle
search when possible to prevent the smuggling of weapons and other explosive
materials into the country,” as well as “collaborate with other security
agencies and sensitize all officers on the security alert to ensure terrorists
do not enter the country.”

Prediction
Prophet TB Joshua had said:“I want us to come together and pray for
these two nations: Nigeria and Ghana because I am seeing Thursday, Friday,
Saturday –if I may say Thursday – because these evil people they are very
funny. Anything can just happen. You will be very shocked to see what happened,
because when the prayer is going in this direction they [attackers] dodge this
direction.”
“I see Thursday, Friday, Saturday pray for these two nations over
attack. I am seeing attack. And that will be in a foreign way. The attack will
come not local way. Please for these two nations for protection.
He said “the evil one is saying can ‘we go this way or can we go
that way?’. Anyone that is free they want to enter so pray for protection.”
The pastor kept repeating Thursday, Friday and Saturday and said the
attack will not be an internal issue but a foreign invasion.
