Two Nigerian nationals are in the custody of the Ghana Immigration Service. They are accused of defrauding individuals through a visa procurement scheme.
The suspects allegedly operated an unregistered agency. This agency promised to help people obtain visas.
Authorities confirmed the arrests were made on July 2, 2026. The operation was part of a broader effort to tackle immigration-related fraud.
The Ghana Immigration Service stated that the suspects took money from victims. They then failed to deliver on the promised visas.
Investigations are ongoing to identify all potential victims of the alleged scam.
The suspects are expected to face charges related to fraud and operating an illegal business.
This incident highlights the need for caution when using unofficial agencies for visa applications.
The Ghana Immigration Service urges the public to verify the legitimacy of any agency before engaging their services. Proper registration is a key indicator of a legitimate business.
