Joy News’ investigations have uncovered how some officials of the Ghana Immigration Service demand monies to allow illegal entry into the country through unapproved routes near the Aflao border.
The officers were filmed on camera receiving various sums of money from the travelers on these routes. This is in spite of President Akufo Addo’s announcement of the closure of land borders to limit the spread of Covid-19.
This reporter and his team were never subjected to the regular check when entering the country through an unapproved route.
A commercial motor operator the investigative team decided to call Peter said he has been carrying passengers through unapproved routes since the official closure of the border.
“The immigration officials are at the border post. However, they demand monies to allow people to pass through the unapproved routes. They take ¢10 cedis from the Ghana and Togo ends of the border when using the unapproved routes,” he claimed.
