Why National Security is trending

The National Security has been captured in the trends on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, following the circulation of confidential documents from the outfit’s Coordinator, Osman Abdul-Razak, requesting the evacuation of 706 containers belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana.

The document, dated March 7, 2025, was addressed to the Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), with copies sent to the Minister of Transport and the Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority.

It outlined the security agency's plans to evacuate and transport selected Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) containers to their warehouse in Abelemkpe, Accra.

Also, the document instructed the GPHA to suspend port charges on the listed containers to be evacuated, pending the outcome of investigations into the missing containers belonging to the state power company, ECG.

The disclosure of this document has sparked massive discussions on social media, particularly on X, with many Ghanaians questioning whether the 706 containers to be evacuated are among the more than 1,300 missing containers.

Critics have also demanded answers as to why the security agency is making plans to evacuate these listed containers when it has yet to brief the public on the whereabouts of the missing ones.

In a separate development, the Minority caucus in parliament has called on the National Security to disclose details regarding two mysterious flights that recently arrived in the country, allegedly linked to drug trafficking.

Lol... They moved in and out on separate days. if your national security had anything to do, they would have grounded the aircrafts for further investigations...some of you will continue to exhibit low thinking, as far as politics is concerned...

Rev minister, have some little respect for yourself and your integrity. Now have a little respect for your status as an MP. These fullish tendencies will not bring the NPP to power. How could an official letter from the NS written for evacuation of containers during an…

The letter clearly states that the request was part of Nat. Sec. investigations, and you are questioning why they were not counted as part of the missing...but wait oo, so how do you expect these ones that are properly accounted for to be counted as part of what has been stolen??

ECG containers were evidently missing by January 31, 2025.

How is a letter dated March 11, 2025 consequential to the stolen 1,346 containers nearly 2 months back?

Is not it trite that the remaining containers were those been evacuated? Unless you are NPP... 😂🤣
