The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has confirmed the commencement of a nationwide operation to address the presence of undocumented migrants across major cities, with a particular focus on Accra.<\/p>\n

The exercise began in the early hours of Friday, 16th May 2025, and forms part of the Service\u2019s ongoing efforts to enforce immigration regulations and enhance national security.<\/p>\n

In a press statement issued by the Head of Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Immigration M. Amoako-Atta, the GIS indicated that the operation was part of a broader mandate to ensure that all foreign nationals residing in Ghana do so legally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently assessing the outcomes of the operation and will provide further details to the public in due course,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

While details of the specific locations and number of individuals affected have not yet been disclosed, sources within the Service suggest that the operation involved collaboration with other security agencies.<\/p>\n

It is understood that the move comes in response to growing concerns about the rising number of undocumented migrants engaging in unregulated activities within the city centres.<\/p>\n

The GIS has called on the public to remain calm and cooperate with authorities as the operation unfolds.<\/p>\n

Assistant Commissioner Amoako-Atta further assured that due process will be followed and that genuine foreign nationals with the appropriate documentation need not be concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to sanitise the system, not to victimise law-abiding residents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
