The Africa Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies has warned that the country’s security is under threat.
According to them, their research has indicated that Salati-Jihadist group in Burkina Faso has shifted its attention to Christian Churches in Ghana.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, Mr. Paul Boateng, Head of Research, Africa Centre for security and intelligence studies explained that the group are looking to mate religious tensions in Ghana and Togo.
He added that, they are planning to attack churches in countries such as Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Benin.
The group is also looking to operate from illegal mining zones in the Northern part of Ghana as these places are considered to be the safest places for them to conduct their activities.
He however noted that they have accordingly informed the security agencies and they are so far satisfied with their compliance.
SECURITY ALERT!
10th May 2019
Over the past four months, ACSIS has been monitoring the activities of the Salafi-Jihadist group in Burkina Faso. It appears the group has now shifted its attention to Christian Churches. On 28th April 2019, the Salafi-Jihadists conducted their first attack on a Church in Burkina Faso.
ACSIS analysis suggests the Salafi-jihadists are looking to incite religious tensions in Ghana and Togo. They are also planning to attack churches in countries such as Ghana, Ivory Coast,Togo, and Benin.
ACSIS analysis strongly suggests Churches in Ghana are the immediate target. The group is looking to operate from illegal mining zones in the northern part of Ghana, as these places are considered to be the safest places for them to conduct their activities.
ACSIS is looking to raise awareness of the threat so that appropriate measures could be taken.

Who is this Paul Boateng speaking anyhow about such matters on radio. Sometimes we regret having all these untrained radio stations spewing garbage. If the security analyst has had discussions with the national security why come and sit on radio to announce it? He should be arrested for causing fear and panic.
Abdul Aziz, i love your sentiments. Christians and Muslims must unite against these babaric acts as its tantamount to the Most High God we serve who never tolerate such dirty tricks from His creation. Oh Lord, let your fire and heavenly stones kill and scatter all those with evil minds before they even think of coming closer to any Church, Let the destruyers manifest your presence, guide, guard, protect and lead all Christians in Christ Jesus, Amen!!
These are orchestrated by the westerners to incite insecurity in Africa for their parochial interest and greed.No proper muslim will ever incite violence or killing another human being. The Quran forbids a muslim to take another human being life.We should pray together and never incite violence expecially this month of ramadan. May Allah expose every wick+ed intentions of the west and keep us together. Humanity exist before region.#humanity first#
these people cannot enter the borders of Ghana. Do we remember the fire they went round our neighbor countries but could not enter, we are still the same Christians and we serve the same God, they should not dare.
