The Bureau of National Investigations is investigating customs officers at the Aflao border. This follows allegations of bribery and corrupt practices. The investigation was initiated based on intelligence reports.
These reports suggest that some officers may have been involved in activities that aided illegal trade. The alleged bribery aims to bypass official customs procedures.
The Aflao border is a major entry and exit point between Ghana and Togo. It handles significant trade volumes.
The Ghana Revenue Authority, responsible for customs operations, has stated full cooperation with the investigation. Officials have also emphasized their commitment to integrity at all border posts.
The outcome of the investigation will determine the next course of action. This could include disciplinary measures or criminal charges.
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed its support for the BNI in this matter.
