Ghana Immigration Service at Aflao has arrested nine travelers for using Ghana’s unapproved routes into Togo after all attempts at the legal border proved futile.
Per our findings, the nine travellers who arrived at Ghana’s border town Aflao from Côte d’Ivoire remain stranded for two days on their journey to Nigeria.
According to Deputy Comptroller General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Mr Laud Kwesi Afrifa the individual was arrested after authorities were notified of his intention and was nabbed after he reported to the border health authorities for testing.
One of the travellers, a US-based Nigerian citizen said “We’re in the middle of the sea. We can’t go back and they’re not allowing us to go forward. We won’t have made this journey if we knew about the border closure. I live in the US and I came to Africa last month went to Côte d’ Voire to visit my aunty.”
