Ethnic conflicts, land disputes and illicit drugs remain major security concerns – Muntaka

The Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has identified ethnic conflicts, land disputes and illicit drugs as major security concerns confronting Ghana, despite what he describes as an improvement in the country’s security situation.
