Three ISIS men arrested with grenades at Odorkor (PHOTOS)
Police at the Odorkor divisional command in Accra have arrested some individuals in possession of grenades, Otecnews has gathered.
One suspect, Abdul Karim, was picked up through police intelligence at Agape in Accra and he subsequently led to the arrest of two other suspects, Osman Alhassan, 33; and Ishmael Ali Musa, 31.
Ishmael Ali Musa is believed to have ties with terrorist group ISIS in Libya.
The grenades and ammunition are also believed to have been brought into Ghana from Libya.
They are currently in custody while investigations are ongoing.
Otecnews sources say the Military are involved with the investigations.
The development comes on the back of a warning by security analyst Emmanuel Kwesi Aning that Ghana should be careful about a possible ISIS infiltration.
Dr. Aning has been tough and plain about security matters of the state, particularly recent proliferation of civic activism in the country, offering provocative analysis on security debates but nothing comes close this latest incendiary predictions on the nation’s future.
He warned Ghana was at a tipping point of instability and forecast an infiltration of Islamic State terrorist network by 2020 due to the deliberate exploitation and manipulation of youthful exuberance by authority figures to achieve a political end, and the inability of security agencies to act due to political interferences.
“What we are seeing is organized criminality, hooliganism, it threatens the stability of this country, and by 2020 either Islamic State would’ve infiltrated it or the al-Qaeda would’ve infiltrated it, because there is an army of the poor established by Islamic State, pay them thousand two hundred to two thousand dollars every month with a view to inciting youth from this part of the world to join them,” he hinted.
