The Daily Graphic reports Mr Totobi Quakyi, Minister responsible for National Security as assuring Ghanaians that the security forces are alert and poised to deal with any mischief makers, who wish to threaten the peace and stability of Ghana.

The Graphic, in a front-page story quotes Mr Quakyi as saying: "Let me assure everyone in our dear and beloved country that our security forces are fully alert and are perfectly capable of dealing with such lunatic fringes of the country?s democratic dispensation.

The paper says Mr Quakyi was reacting to concerns raised about statements placed on the Internet by a group calling itself "Ghana Armed Liberation Movement". The Minister is reported to have said that investigations have established that the Movement is a shadowy organisation created by elements opposed to the government of the Progressive Alliance, to spread fear and panic among Ghanaians and foreigners alike.

He is said to have revealed that the group has so far, placed three statements on the Internet, the first was on October 8, the second on October 22 and the third was yesterday, November 18.
