Ghana's national security
boss has broken his silence on the alleged Ghanaian recruits to the so-called
Islamic State group.
He
told journalists, including from the Daily Graphic, that two young Ghanaians including
the 25-year-old we reported on this week have joined the group. Dr Yaw Donkor
says other attempts at recruitment are being closely monitored, but he warned
journalists to be cautious in its reporting of the story so as not to
"create panic".
Meanwhile
at least 100 people have been rescued from two boats that sunk off Libya and
have been transferred to a detention centre in the western city of Sabratha,
the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has told the BBC.
The
IOM's Samer Haddadin said that most of the survivors were men but among them
were at least nine women and two children.
He
told the BBC Newsday programme that another 150 rescued by the Libyan
coastguards were expected to arrive at the same centre.
"Unfortunately the
Libyan coastguards have only basic equipment, they are trying to do their best
but unfortunately they don't have the right equipment," he added.
