In order to forestall reprisal attacks from dissident groups, the Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana, Ambassador Seyi Ademola Onafowokan has appealed to the Ghanaian Inspector- general of Police to beef up security in the mission.
“The situation in Nigeria and Mali gives us a lot of concern. In West Africa, Ghana probably is our most prominent embassy and we could be a target. That is why I have come this morning to seek your support. We have policemen deployed to the embassy. We have them in the residence. But most time we give them off duty every Friday, sometimes when they get to their duty post in the morning they just disappear, especially the ones at the residence.
Onafowokan also told the Inspector General of Ghana Police, Mohammed Ahmed Alhassan yesterday, when he called on him at the police headquarters that; because of the offensive the Nigerian government had launched against Boko Haram and the rebels in Mali, any Nigerian mission could be a target for terrorists’ attacks.
Also, the envoy has called on the Ghanaian police to facilitate the release of the body of a Nigerian, Joseph Bernard, who was allegedly killed in an accident in 2011.
Earlier, the IGP had briefed the Nigerian envoy on the state of security and the Ghana Police Service and its efforts to curtail criminal activities in the country.

Possible, very much possible.

A step in the right direction Mr Ambassador.

"To be fore warned is to be fore armed" - unknown

No *...*

The Ambassador is on point, precautionary measure should be taken to avoid story that touch.

WHAT FOR

I can't categorically say something on dis issue cos I know the moderator will hide it. That's all.

A nation roundly known 4 putting the cart b4 d horse is, improving.
Intelligence gathering, right on course.
Consulates sense a wind of imminent attack; naija is, working.

Wot can a shiiiiiiit hole lyk nigeria possibly do for a Great country lyk Ghana. U out of ur phucking mind

To be proactive is better than to be reactive.

go and ask your fore fathers and your fathers, Nigeria accomodated them when they had nothing. that is why we have "Ghana Must Go"

I actually applaud his initiative. Is it until a Nigerian embassy is attacked before he takes proactive action
Also, he's not asking for additional security par se, but his request is for those security personnel assigned to guard the embassy be around to guard it.

I think a circular was sent to all embassies to shore up their security detail.

Good move.

Dudes don't forget we fighting a war on terror here, just because we can’t see pictures don’t mean it isn’t happening

The ambassador knows more than he is revealing, is it potential attack from bokoharam? or angry Nigeria residents in Ghana?. If he knows the embassy isn't protecting Nigerians interest enough, they should seat up and remember the Senegal incident in Dakar.
What's his business with securing the building? Is it by going to the press? Or he is now doing the job on behalf of the security attaches/NIA?
Noise makers.

If Boko ever came to Ghana I hate to see what will happen. It will be hell on earth for many because the level of revenge we will get will be written about for 100000 years!! The Boko would not dare step on Ethnic Ghanaian soil.


On another note they have not even reached Southern Nigeria. They are more likely to target things in middle Nigeria and then Southern Nigeria before they move out of the country.

YOU ARE TALKING OF THE PAST.. I BET YOU, GHANA IS BETTER TODAY.

hahahaha. Very funny. Only 10 boko haram men are enough to wipe Ghana out of the world. It will take only ogun state barracks Nigerian army 2 days to wipe Ghana out of African map. Sending lagos army boys to Ghana its an insult. Just 200 Nigerian marines are enough to make Ghana history.

GHANA VS NIGERIA again Abeg I no wan laugh today make my boss no think say I'm making fun of him in the office

Why should the taxpayers of Ghana pay to protect the Nigerian embassy from hostilities brought on by Nigerian incompetence and greed? Shameless Nigerians.

Rap maestro: GBAMM, if dem continue hiding comments, lets see who will contribute... Dema f00ls jorh
