On August 6, the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) announced that a Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) officer had been transferred from Accra International Airport following a viral video showing her allegedly asking a passenger for money under the guise of a "breakfast" charge. The GACL confirmed that the officer had been removed from the airport and that two Port Health officers had also been barred from working at the airport for their involvement in extortion.
This move follows a series of incidents reported in recent months, with the company establishing a hotline for passengers to report suspected extortion by airport personnel. The hotline is accessible through 054 217 5636 and has been displayed at key locations within airport terminals. Passengers are encouraged to report incidents promptly, identifying the officer or employee involved and the institution they represent to facilitate investigation and prompt action.
GACL has warned that all activities within the airport are being monitored and urged passengers to "Spot it. Record it. Report it." The company remains committed to maintaining a zero-tolerance policy on extortion and protecting the integrity and reputation of Ghana's airports.
