"Is Al-Qaeda present in Ghana? I'm not sure. Officially, we don't have any information to that effect; it's possible that there are existing cells and others in the nation, but the security services are closely monitoring those issues, so we're hoping there won't be any Al-Qaeda presence in Ghana.
Anyone who is a friend of this nation and wishes the Ghanaian people well must wish that, he continued.
The President added that security has been tightened in response to the nation's concern over the potential presence of extremist groups.
He continued by saying that, despite everything, Ghana preferred to handle its security issues on its own, free from outside intervention.
Without the assistance of foreign troops, he said, "We want to be able to solve as many of our own security issues ourselves."
