An Accra Circuit Court has remanded 55 illegal immigrants into prison custody following their arrest at Kuntunse near Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region.
The suspects were part of a larger group of over 100 foreign nationals apprehended by the police based on intelligence received on October 7, 2025.
During the hearing, the accused denied claims that they entered Ghana through unapproved routes or were residing and working in the country without the necessary permits.
The prosecution, led by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Emmanuel Haligah, requested their remand to enable further investigations into the case.
According to ASP Haligah, police officers acting on intelligence found the group in a house at Kuntunse-Satellite, a suburb of Accra. When questioned, the individuals refused to reveal their true identities and were subsequently taken to the CID headquarters for further interrogation.
Investigations revealed that the accused persons, who are nationals of neighbouring francophone countries, had entered Ghana illegally between February and September 2025 through unauthorized routes. They also failed to report to the nearest immigration office to present travel documents and complete the required registration procedures.
Further checks confirmed that none of the accused possessed valid documentation permitting them to reside or work in Ghana. They were subsequently charged and arraigned before the court.
Among those remanded are Igobere Mata, Victoir Abubakar, None Adams, De Paul Smith Ekollo, Oumar Sylla, Martine Ndmebe, Moustik Noird, Oscar Oman Kamoki, Brice Bangassou, Carlos Ngande, Kone Issa, Buinwi Amadu, Blesse Djami, Dieudonne Torrentot, Albert Binyame, Jordan Konlack Kuete, Youssoupha Fatar, Njufack Loic, Douanla Romeo, Alliun Fouko, Edouard Nkoum, Ngong Zidane, and Cheba Ben.
