According to him, crimes such as armed robbery, burglary, among other crimes on the Gulf of Guinea.
He explained that these transnational crimes do not only threaten the peace of the nation but also comes with a great cost to the economy and that of the nations involved.
President Akufo-Addo made these comments when he commissioned the Naval Training Command at Agorta Nutekpor in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region on Tuesday.
