No fewer than 50 Nigerians were arrested on Thursday as the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) cracked down on illegal migrants.
Ghana announced their arrest in a statement signed by Michael Amoako-Atta, the Assistant Commissioner of Immigration Head of Public Affairs.
“The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in the early hours of today, July 24, 2025, conducted a special operation at McCarthy Hills in the Ga South Municipality,” the statement read in part.
“The operation was based on intelligence gathered on the illegal stay of some foreign nationals in the area, some of whom were trafficked into the country and forced into cyber fraud by their facilitators.
“About 50 Nigerians have been taken so far, including the landlord of the apartment where the alleged illegality was taking place.”
Amoako-Atta said the public will be updated in due course of the outcome of the operations and subsequent investigations.
