PRESS RELEASE

The Ministry of National Security expresses its appreciation to the Ghanaian public and
in particular, the media for supporting the Citizen Awareness Campaign dubbed “See
Something Say Something”.

The campaign, in line with the whole-of-society approach that underpins the National
Security Strategy, is aimed at encouraging citizens to report suspicious persons or
activities to enable the State respond effectively to the threat of terrorism and violent
extremism.

Preliminary checks at the emergency call centre indicate that, in the first 30 hours
following the launch of the campaign, over 10,000 calls have been made to the centre,
of which majority have been prank calls and calls to verify the operationality of the call
line; a development that has culminated in long call queues and delayed response to calls
made to the centre.

While the Ministry assures the public of the activeness of the call centre and encourages
same to report all suspicious persons and behaviour, we beseech all and sundry to desist
from making prank calls to the centre as doing so undermines the ability of law
enforcement agencies to effectively respond to actual crises.

The Ministry of National Security assures the general public of its continued collaboration
with all relevant agencies and stakeholders to safeguard the peace and security of our
dear country Ghana.

We encourage all Ghanaians to “Say Something if you See Something”
