The Dean of Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFSC), Professor Vladimir Antwi-Danso is advocating for government to increase awareness creation on the dangers of terrorism in the country.
He recounted that 90 percent of countries that have been able to identify and fight terrorist attacks have done so through awareness creation and artificial intelligence.
Speaking on Oyerepa Breakfast Show hosted by Nana Yaw Mensah Joel, Prof. Vladimir Antwi-Danso urged the government to make Ghanaians aware of the mode of operation of terrorists.
“For me, the most important thing is to make the people aware of terrorism and our security. You go to Israel and a two-year-old knows what to do, what to report and what to look out for and that they will never pick toffee or pen or balloon from the ground…We are not very aware of anything at all…People are oblivious of the dangers of terrorism and insecurity around them and these are the things that we should be looking out for, that we should make the citizenry to be very much aware of their surroundings,” he said.
Although Prof. Antwi Danso lauded the government for its efforts against terrorism so far, he indicated that a lot more can be done. He recommended that the government mounts streets cameras in town to monitor activities in town
He added that foreign street children who are galavanting on our streets are prone to terrorism. “Those street children from the neighbouring countries who have no families in the country can be targeted by terrorists, ISIS and be used in the near future “ he stressed
