The Minority’s spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzero Ablakwa, has asked the government to intensify security at our borders following the escape from the prison of some 240 suspected Boko Haram terrorists.
Mr. Ablakwa, in a statement, indicated that these escapees are heading to Ghana, and our security agencies must intensify security at our borders.
”Evidence suggests a number of these fugitives always head in our direction. Recall in April this year some 9 alleged Nigerian jailbreakers were arrested in Ada after they somehow managed to outwit border authorities,” he said.
The MP for North Tongu explained that we all have a role to play in ensuring stability in the sub-region following the volatile situation being recorded in some other countries.

Hoping Government has heightened security at our borders and will soon communicate high assurances to Ghanaians following this week’s action-movie-style jailbreak in Nigeria where some 240 suspected Boko Haram terrorists and other hardened criminals have escaped from prison.
Evidence suggests a number of these fugitives always head in our direction. Recall in April this year some 9 alleged Nigerian jailbreakers were arrested in Ada after they somehow managed to outwit border authorities.
Even though Nigerian officials have requested INTERPOL assistance, it is crucial that our citizens, particularly those residing in border communities are educated on how to increase alertness and it shouldn’t be impossible to widely circulate pictures of all the former inmates of the Kogi-based Security Custodial Centre.
We must all commit to playing our part in improving the worrying volatile security situation in the subregion.
