Ghana Immigration Service removes 1,055 street beggars from the streets of Accra and Kumasi
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has successfully removed 1,055 migrant street beggars from the streets of Accra and Kumasi, as part of an operation targeting undocumented foreign nationals. This operation was carried out in response to directives from the Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, who sought to address the issue of undocumented migrants and street beggars in major Ghanaian cities.
The individuals identified as illegal immigrants are now undergoing processing for repatriation to their home countries. This action is part of the ongoing efforts by authorities to tackle concerns over street begging and human trafficking, especially in urban areas like Accra. The operation reflects broader initiatives by the GIS to enforce Ghana's immigration laws and regulate the presence of foreign nationals who do not possess valid documentation.
