The Upper West Regional Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has apprehended seven Burkina Faso nationals for sneaking into Ghana on an unregistered tricycle (motor king).
They were arrested at about 1630 hours at Batoma, an unapproved route in the Hamile Sector Command of the GIS in the Lambussie District of the region, bordering neighbouring Burkina Faso.
Mr Ibn Yussif Duranah Abdul-Mumin Seidu, the Upper West Regional Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the GIS, who revealed this to the Ghana news Agency in Wa, added that they were all males aged between 16 and 25.
Preliminary investigations revealed that they were destined for Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region for farming/labour activities.
Mr Seidu explained that the illegal migrants were screened by the Port Health Officials and handed over to the Burkina Faso authorities, while the tricycle was impounded according to the law.
The President, Nana Addo Danwkwa Akufo-Addo, had ordered the closure of all the national borders land, sea and air as part of the measures to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
The GIS PRO issued a stern warning that the law would not take it lightly with any individual or group of persons that would be caught aiding foreigners to enter into the country illegally.
He, however, reiterated the need for the public, especially those at the border communities, to continue to support the security personnel to police the borders and to protect the country.

Ndc the agents of the devil are doing all these, and they think this will help them they lie bad. Ndc john mahama with no shame a failure and a one term president who love to be given the title His Excellency Koo minini in opposition somebody the country has sent him away with a gargantuan defeat of over a million votes love to be giving a title when those who completed the 2 terms 8 years are called by their names or simply President even the sitting president prefer to be called Mr President just like that! but the nkurasefuo kuo His Excellency Koo minini if you don't address him that way then the goroboys come out attacking you that you disrespected the man i don't even know how to describe him if former or flagbearer such confused people want power! Never again. John mahama is doing everything nasty, dirty to come back to power for what only himself can tell but we Ghanaians the majority who voted him out the 54% are not tired, we are happy our country is moving forward and we will not give Ghana to the ndc today or tomorrow. Ndc in opposition is disorganized with no running mate, no policy, no program, no plan, no vision and no manifesto at this time about 7 months to elections and such people want power how many years will it take them to form a government on the unlikely event, "GOD FORBID" the party in government has been able to choose their presidential candidate and running mate and campaign team their manifesto is ready already that is how serious they are. Ndc are wasting time on evil plans to kidnap and kill, bring in foreigners with COVID-19 from neigboring ECOWAS countries with the assurance to them Ghana has a cure for the Virus hence the mass trooping in of those foreigners. Ndc hate to see Ghana numbers on COVID-19 lower hence bringing in people from other countries with the virus these are the people Ghanaians have to live with wicked, callous and evil. How do you do politics like this? Hate, envi*ness, callousness, evil, demonic and satanic they don't even care about those who blindly vote for them to get this virus and die! I pity such people who follow them and those who risk their lives transporting these COVID-19 patients from other countries they will one day confess to Ghanaians like these prophets who have seen the light are doing.
