President John Mahama has warned criminal networks, saying that Ghana will not surrender any part of the country to lawlessness.
He said this during a brief ceremony held in Accra on Thursday, where he handed over 40 new armoured vehicles to the Ghana Police Service.
“Let me state clearly our dear country Ghana will not surrender a single street, a community or any public space to criminals today , tomorrow or forever,” he said.
He emphasised that the government is committed to ensuring that no individual or group can threaten the security and stability of the nation.
“To those who insist on disturbing the peace of our nation, whether through armed robbery , organized crime , illegal arms trafficking, or gang activity, our message is simple, the Ghanaian state is ready , the Ghana police service is ready. The laws of this republic will deal decisively with anyone who endangers the safety of our people.”
The newly deployed vehicles, part of ongoing efforts to bolster law enforcement, are expected to enhance police operations in high-risk areas and strengthen the protection of citizens.
The President urged all Ghanaians to support the security services and remain vigilant, reiterating that the country will resist any attempts by criminal actors to undermine public safety or seize control over any part of the nation.
