Twenty-eight foreigners and a landlord have been arrested in the Amansie West District. The arrests were made during a joint operation by the Immigration Service and the Ghana Police Service. This action was taken due to alleged violations of Ghana's immigration laws.
The suspects were apprehended during raids on several locations. These raids targeted known hideouts in the Pakyi No. 1 and No. 2 areas of the district. Authorities stated the operation aimed to ensure compliance with national laws.
The arrested individuals are foreigners who are believed to be residing in Ghana without proper documentation or authorization. The landlord was arrested for allegedly allowing them to stay on his property without proper checks.
Officials from the Immigration Service and the Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrests. They noted that further investigations into the immigration status and activities of the foreigners are ongoing. Legal proceedings are expected to follow based on the findings.
