Ghana Immigration Service repatriates 27 Nigerian nationals
Officials from the Ghana Immigration Service in the Ashanti Region have organised a bus to convey them from Kumasi to the Aflao border to ensure they arrive at their home country.
The Ghana Immigration Service says it has repatriated 27 Nigerian nationals who were arrested at Apiedu in the Ashanti Region on Friday, October 15, 2021, for illegal entry into the country and allegedly engaging in cybercrime.
The said individuals are between the ages of 16 and 26 years.
“The enforcement section of the operations department of the Ghana Immigration Service had some intelligence of some Nigerians who were engaging in suspected cybercrime at Apiedu close to KNUST. When our officers got there, we realized that the information given was accurate. Even in the statements they wrote, their leader admitted that they were involved in illegal operations,” Superintendent Mohammed Abdul Manan, Ashanti Regional Operations Department of the Ghana Immigration Service said.
