Residents of Wiesi, Bachongsa and Kadema in the Upper East Region have joined a growing effort to strengthen community resilience against violent extremism, illicit arms trafficking and cross-border insecurity.

The three-day engagement, led by the Commission in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service, Bureau of National Intelligence, Ghana Immigration Service, Narcotics Control Commission and the National Peace Council, brought together approximately 750 participants from the three border communities.

Addressing the participants, the Upper East Regional Head of NACSA, Mr. Victor Abo-Ame Akanbonga, highlighted the evolving security threats facing communities along Ghana's northern border, including activities promoting the circulation of illicit firearms.

Participants were encouraged to strengthen cooperation with security agencies, remain vigilant and support early warning efforts aimed at protecting their communities from emerging threats.

The engagement reflects a growing recognition that resilient communities, informed citizens and strong cooperation with civilians remain one of Ghana's most effective tools for preventing the spread of violent extremism and illicit arms trafficking.
