“When I went there with my men, I noticed they had locked themselves in a room and they were all making calls; they were holding forms for prospective victims. They register them and the victims pay via momo account,” the Ejisu Municipal Commander of Immigration, Alfred Nii Boye Lartey is quoted to have told Joy News.
The suspects, largely West African nationals, are said to be 19 men and 17 women, including a nursing mother.
