Executive Director of Irbard Security Consult Irbard Ibrahim has stated that plans by the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to petition the United Nations (UN) over acts of “terrorism†by some politicians in the country will not be a good move and must be aborted.
According Mr Ibrahim such petition would only put Ghana in a “negative spotlightâ€.
The NDC has said it will request the UN and the international community to place Assin Central lawmaker Kennedy Agyapong on its list of terrorists for sponsoring a vigilante group Delta force.
But speaking to Class FM Mr Ibrahim said that even though the public display of support by the Mr Agyapong for the Delta Force was worrying, “drawing parallels with terrorist funding would mar the international reputation of Ghana as a bastion of peace and stability in West Africaâ€.
He was of the view that “the UN Rep for West Africa has already spoken against it [vigilantism]†hence there will be no need for a petition.
