The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has deported 17 out of 29 persons arrested in Ho, the Volta Regional capital, for their alleged involvement in cyber crimes.
The Ho Municipal Police Commander, DSP Anthony Danso, told the media the deported persons did not have good immigration standing.
Those who were found to be legal residents of Ho, were released and reunited with their various communities. He noted that some landlords leased houses to some Nigerian nationals, who in turn used them for various nefarious activities, including cyber fraud.
Item recovered by the police are 20 mobile phones, 33 laptops, two television sets and other electronic gadgets.
