The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ghana has cancelled 10 illegally issued Service Passports, according to a report by MyJoyOnline on November 8. The passports were allegedly obtained through a syndicate's illegal arrangement within the passport administration system between January 2023 and August 2026. The affected documents were issued to individuals who did not meet the necessary requirements for Service Passports.
The Ministry informed international partners about the decision to prevent further use of the passports. Investigations into the matter began following two petitions received on October 8, 2026, leading to the establishment of an investigative committee on October 13, as instructed by Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
