The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has arrested about 50 Nigerian nationals in a special early morning operation at McCarthy Hills in the Ga South Municipality.
The operation, which took place on Thursday, July 24, 2025, followed intelligence reports on the illegal stay of some foreign nationals, some of whom were allegedly trafficked into the country and forced into cybercrime by their facilitators.
Among those taken into custody is the landlord of the apartment complex where the alleged criminal activities were taking place.
The GIS says investigations are ongoing and has assured the public that updates will be provided in due course as the operation unfolds.
The statement, signed by M. Amoako-Atta, Assistant Commissioner of Immigration and Head of Public Affairs, noted the gravity of the allegations, emphasizing that the arrests form part of broader efforts to clamp down on illegal immigration and transnational crime.
