Samuel Abdullai Jinapor, a Ranking Member of Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Committee, has requested an independent investigation. The request follows a recent terrorist attack in Burkina Faso.
The attack took place in Titao. Eight Ghanaian citizens were killed during the incident. Jinapor stated that this event represents a significant failure in intelligence gathering and sharing.
The inquiry would aim to determine the factors that led to the attack. It would also assess how Ghanaian citizens became victims. The outcome could lead to improved security measures and intelligence protocols.
The push for an independent probe highlights concerns over national security and citizen protection abroad. Families of the victims are awaiting answers regarding the circumstances of their loved ones' deaths.
