The Director, Faculty of Academic Affairs and Research, Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPKTC), Dr Kwasi Aning, has publicly indicated that, he has received threatening messages form some high personalities in the country due to his comments on security matters.

The Security expert while speaking on Accra based radio station Starr FM said, “We have a challenge in this country because when you want to do your work well, it exposes some people and they want to come at you. Nobody would make disparaging remarks about me and I would keep quiet. I have messages and voice audios from some top officials threatening me, so I would leave security analysis to those who have been employed to do so".

His comments came up while he was  discussing the issue involving the arrest of some Police officers who allegedly rented out their guns to suspected robbers.

"This not a new thing because the police sometimes rent their uniforms out to these armed robbers. It’s going to be tough to eradicate this menace because organized crime in itself brings huge sums of money to those involved. There was a report called the “Tibiru Report” which identifies some issues as this but the report has not been given the needed attention” he said.

However, Dr Anning clarified that, the threats will not silence him when it comes to opinions on security matters.
