A joint security operation involving law enforcement agencies from Ghana and Burkina Faso has been launched to locate individuals suspected to be terrorists hiding in Fatchu within the Sissala West District.
According to information obtained from the Sissala West District Police Command, it is believed that these suspected terrorists may have crossed the border from Burkina Faso into Ghana on Wednesday, September 27, around 11:45 in the morning.
During a raid on the hideout of these suspects, several items were discovered, including a Ghanaian voter ID card, two mobile phones, an unspecified quantity of ammunition, clothing, and eight bicycles, among other items.
A search of the recovered mobile phones revealed images of individuals dressed in terrorist attire. One of these individuals, approximately 40 years old, bears a striking resemblance to a wanted terrorist in Burkina Faso.
The suspected terrorist was identified as Diallo Noufou by Burkina Faso security agencies, and he possessed a Ghanaian voter ID card bearing the name Abdulai Ibrahim.
The security services in Gwollu have been alerted to this development and are currently conducting periodic patrols in and around Fatchu.
