Immigration authorities have arrested a Nigerian man who was found to be overstaying his visa in Ghana. The arrest took place during a routine operation checking the legal status of foreign residents.
The individual was apprehended by immigration officers while they conducted checks. The Ghana Immigration Service confirmed the arrest and stated it was part of ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with immigration laws.
The authorities did not immediately release the man's name. He is currently in the custody of the Ghana Immigration Service.
This action follows a broader initiative by the immigration service to regulate the presence of non-Ghanaians within the country.
Overstaying a visa is a violation of Ghanaian immigration laws.
The Ghana Immigration Service is responsible for enforcing these laws and maintaining national security.
