An unexpected landing of an unidentified aircraft in Paga, a border town in the Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region, has sparked concern among residents and raised questions about security in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported that the aircraft touched down in an open space near the community, drawing attention from locals who were surprised and alarmed by the unusual development. The incident has caused unease, particularly due to Paga’s close proximity to Ghana’s northern border.
Residents expressed fears about the purpose of the aircraft’s presence, with some calling for greater vigilance and improved monitoring of Ghana’s airspace. The unexpected landing has fueled speculation, ranging from possible mechanical difficulties to concerns about unauthorized entry into the country.
Security agencies have since begun investigations into the incident. Preliminary information suggests that the aircraft may not have received clearance to enter Ghanaian airspace, although officials have yet to confirm the origin of the aircraft, its occupants, or the reason for the landing.
Authorities have urged residents to remain calm while investigations continue. They have assured the public that appropriate measures are being taken to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and to ensure the safety of the community.
The development has renewed calls for enhanced border surveillance and tighter security controls, especially in regions close to international boundaries, as residents seek reassurance amid growing regional security challenges.
