A video circulating on social media shows some Nigerian nationals believed to be residing in Kasoa in the Central Region, attacking some Ghana Immigration (GI) officers in their vehicle.
The immigration officers were in a pick-up vehicle with registration number GI 220.
The attackers are heard shouting “wetin, nobody dey move. Here na border.”
Some of the attackers are seen putting pieces of blocks and wooden objects to block the Immigration vehicle from leaving the scene.
The Immigration officers are said to have gone to check on the residence permit of the Nigerians.
The Immigration officers looked on helplessly in the video as they struggled to move their vehicle impeded by several objects placed in front of them by the Nigerian nationals.
The Spokesperson of the Ghana Immigration Service, Superintendent Michael Amoako-Atta who confirmed the incident to Graphic Online said "they (the officers) were going on normal operation to check on foreign nationals who don't have legal stay and they met these Nigerians who were trying to resist."

What kind of country has Ghana become ? Foreigners ganging up against law enforcement agencies. Surprisingly nothing will be done about this cos of "Diplomatic Ties"... I can't do this in Nigeria and still be breathing. Our security agencies should address such issues and stop aiding suspects to flee police cells
have we forgot a bout a few month ago, Ghana police fought with immigration to release 2 Nigerian for them, they were pick for cyber fraud. the Odorkor police, and our lazy journalist are not briefing us on the out come. i pray national security will take it up.
Bring back Rawlings or Re-incarnate Idi Amin to rule Ghana. What a nonesense. NPP must quickly leave the scene. toothless dogs
How can the Immigration officers arrest them when they accept bribes from them? The Police is worst. We should just send in a pick up load of Soldiers and every thing will be CALM.
i wish dis was just two military men like by this time you know dadaa
Ghanaians must rise up to resist this kind of treatment by foreigners, no matter who they are. Who born dog ? Are we not a sovereign nation? How can we allow ourselves to be treated like this in our own country? What an effrontry ? Who will tolerate this in his / her country? But for " corrupt" officials who beg foreigners for all kinds of "favours", who will tolerate this behaviour, and for what reason? This is national security threat, and i call on the President, as the Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces, to rise up to this 'National Security CHallenge'. He pledged to defend the Nation from both internal and external aggression. THIS IS MUST CONDEMMNED BY ALL GHANAIANS, ALL RESIDENTS IN GHANA, WHO NEEDS PEACE.
The freedom of rights in Ghana is Amazing. A country that somebody can boast of killing people and still never got investigated. A country where insulting presidents and even threatening a whole country is accepted as democracy, it is amazing. A country where foreigners can simply come in and pollute our environment and still get treated like a queen, it is amazing. A country that begs its people to be law abiding citizens and still the people can choose to obey or disobey without any punishment, it is amazing. A country where a grown up man/woman can throw gabbage anywhere and still gets away without any punishment, its an Amazing country! I will not be surprise to wake up one day and hear that Small country like Togo, has taken over Ghana and our leaders has run to the National Cathedral calling the Almighty God to come down and intervene. When it comes to law and order, Ghana is a joke!!!
This is shame to Ghana, if indeed the Kidnapped Girls are with them. How can you go to search them ?. Facing this resistance for checking Resident Permit, so what will happened if you are conducting real Search for something important ?
Waoooo,Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I think we should take our self's out of the ecowas protocol and deal with this immigration issues ,from nigerians to Chinese etc .This won't happen in the use and you will not even have the courage to come close to the vehicle .They will gun you one time . This Nigerian ***barred word*** must be stopped ,let the political leader sit down and take a stand and implement ,even if it will cost us having Ghanaians in nigerians coming back .Let us be strict on renting our properties without first checking with immigration of all occupant ,offender $1000 . Second time $2000 third time you loose your property.
