Reliable sources within the national security have told Citi News that there is currently a covert operation in most of the popular destinations across the country to quell any potential terrorist attack.
The operation involves trained undercover agents who have been stationed in most hotels, malls and entertainment centers to identify and deal with any security threat.
[contextly_sidebar id=”F62jcir0DwSZfNg8lGi25rPS6mj9tZtz”]The operation has been ongoing for months but the recent attacks in a popular hotel in Burkina Faso may lead to further strengthening and expansion of the program.
The covert operation involves personnel from the Bureau of National (BNI), national security, Ghana Police service and the military.
Specially trained agents according to sources within the security services are expected to join the operation.
Terrorist attacks linked to militant group Al-Qaeda took place over the weekend at the Splendid Hotel in Burkina Faso and left 28 persons dead and several scores of people injured and traumatized.
Many have questioned Ghana’s readiness deal with such eventualities since Burkina Faso shares borders with Ghana.
