Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) in-charge of the Volta Region, Mr Edward Oduro Kwateng has asked hotel operators to screen their clients thoroughly and pass any suspicious information on them to the police without delay.
This, he said, was a necessary move to forestall possible terrorist activities as the country heads for the polls in December 7.
DCOP Oduro Kwateng was opening a day’s seminar on ‘Crime Prevention at Workplaces, Home and the General Elections’ for about 50 selected participants from the hospitality industry, banks, other corporate bodies, public utility organisations and security groups from the region at Ho.
The seminar was meant to equip the participants with modern techniques and tips to prevent crimes in their premises and homes.
He pointed out that Ghana was vulnerable to terrorist attacks, saying terrorists could strike anywhere and anytime.
According to him, the recent agitation by the so-called Western Togoland secessionist group in the Volta Region and some parts of the Eastern Region had raised the risk of terrorist attacks in the country.
“It, therefore, calls for increased vigilance, awareness and personal safety,” the regional commander added.
DCOP Oduro Kwateng highlighted the need for corporate bodies such as banks, hotels, shopping malls, places of worship and businesses to commit greater resources and zeal towards preventing terrorist attacks and other forms of crime.
He touched on the forthcoming general elections and gave the assurance that the police had strategised on how to prevent violence before, during and after the elections.
He warned that the security agencies would deal decisively with people whose conduct undermined national security.
The participants were taken through Potential Terrorism and Related Activities, Personal Security Awareness, and Technology in Crime Fighting, among other topics.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
