The Weija Sector Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) arrested 11 foreign nationals involved in counterfeit money printing and cyber fraud activities at a residential apartment in Tuba, Accra.
A statement issued by Maud Anima Quainoo, Deputy Commissioner of Immigration, said suspects were apprehended during an intelligence-led operation conducted by the Anti-Human Trafficking and Cyber Fraud Taskforce Unit of the Weija Sector Command, on 5th January, 2026.
Items seized from the scene include: Laptops, Routers, Mobile phones, Fake dollar notes, and tabletop printers/photocopier machines.
The statement said the suspects are currently in custody for further investigations.
The Service commended the public for their continued support and urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity by any foreigner in their communities to law enforcement agencies.
“The Service particularly urges landlords and property owners to exercise due diligence when renting out their properties to foreign nationals since harbouring illegal immigrants is an offence under section 52(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 2000 Act 573.
“The Comptroller General of Immigration and Management of the Service remain committed to protecting the territorial integrity of the country and ensuring compliance with Immigration Laws at all times.”
