The Ghana Immigration Service has once again quelled multiple attempts by Ghanaians and foreigners to enter the country illegally following the closure of Ghana’s borders.
Ghana closed its borders recently to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country.
This is the second time the GIS has intercepted some illegal immigrants after the border shut down.
Addressing the press in Accra on Sunday, the Deputy Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Laud Ofori Afrifa, stated that more and more individuals continue to use parts of the Aflao border to enter the country illegally.
He noted that three Nigerians picked up on Sunday dawn adding that they have been quarantined on a mandatory basis.
“The borders remain closed as directed by the President. Subsequently, there are still attempts by people to enter the country all around especially on the Eastern border around Togo. Many people have been turned back but they still try to come in. On Sunday dawn, three Nigerians and a Ghanaian were intercepted having entered through various unapproved routes on the Aflao-border stretch. They have been arrested and the driver has also been arrested and they are going into mandatory quarantine and a decision will be taken,” he said.
