WACCE said the attack which claimed the lives of eight soldiers implies that the activities of terrorist and jihadist groups are getting closer and closer to the borders of Ghana. The Executive Director of WACCE, Mutaru Mumuni, in an interview with Citi News, said that the attack in Togo poses a major security threat to Ghana. He said the security agencies in the country should as a matter of urgency start taking proactive steps to fight terrorism. The terrorist attack in Togo which happened in the northern part of the country was the first of such attacks and it killed 8 soldiers and wounded 13 of them. Security analysts say the attack is likely to be the work of a local al-Qaeda affiliate in the Sahel region that is based in Mali.
