Ibard Ibrahim, the young man who claims to be a security expert has apologized to leader of the main opposition Nana Akufo-Addo, for comments made in the wake of the arrival of the two ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees to Ghana.
In a statement, Ibrahim, who was lashed at following his claims the opposition leader had prior knowledge of the arrival of the two, confessed to lying, adding he was not well informed.
See statement below
The militant attack in Ivory Coast shows how vulnerable Ghana is to possible attacks by militants from the Sahel region and North Africa.
This has nothing to do with playing host to only two ex-Gitmo detainees. I sincerely apologize to Nana Addo and the NPP for an error in the intelligence info about being informed of the ex-detainees 6 months before their arrival.
That inelligence gap is sincerely regrettable and won‘t happen again. In the same vein, I admire His Excelleny John Dramani Mahama and appreciate the efforts our dear President and the ruling NDC are making to keep the nation safe from attacks. Ghanaians should not panic. We have a diligent police force and a robust army on standby to keep the nation safe. Ghana will continue to remain safe if:
1. We don’t pursue a belligerent foreign policy and stick to peacekeeping missions abroad
3. End youth despondency by creating jobs to profitably engage our teeming exuberant youth whose frustration could be used as a recruitment bonanza
3. Tighten border controls and beef up security at malls, hotels, resorts, bus terminals, universities etc
4. Engage the world in peace building and ending the conflicts in South Sudan, Libya, the Central African Republic etc- Peace Ambassador Irbard Ibrahim
