The Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr, says the suggestion that there\u2019s a state of insecurity in the country following the recently reported cases of crime is far-fetched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although he acknowledges that there is a challenge with security in the country, he believes generalising the security situation based on a few crime cases is unfair, and an exaggeration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are some people who might feel insecure relative to certain incidents of violence, especially robbery, that have taken place in recent times or in the past. It is natural\u2026and indeed such persons can transmit it to their relatives or community members. I\u2019m not about to suggest that there are people in this country who don\u2019t feel insecure or are not concerned about these incidents. What I\u2019m not too sure about is whether you can move from this correct premise and generalise it to suggest that there is a state of national insecurity. I think that is a bit of an exaggeration and not a factual picture,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kweku Baako made the remark on Joy FM\u2019s Newsfile on Saturday, June 19, 2021, while sharing his views on recent robbery cases in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
