“When we establish that they are not Ghanaians and for that matter they don’t have the requisite legitimacy to live in Ghana, we’ll collaborate with our immigration partners to take it from there,” he stated.
The Regional Crime Officer warned that the police are waging a relentless war against lawlessness and impunity in the region.
“We are continuing with this operation unabated,” Mr Acheampong stressed.
A man was also arrested during the operation for wielding a locally manufactured pistol.
