The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), has begun a nationwide crackdown on landlords and property owners who have rented out to non-Ghanaians with no immigration status.

According to the GIS, these rented properties and residences have become the haven for cyber fraudsters and other criminals.

“The use of such properties by persons who are illegally residing in the country make such owners liable of the offence of harboring an illegal migrant, as stipulated in Section 52(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 2000 (Act 573),” said a release signed by Comptroller-General, Kwame Asuah Takyi.

“Section 52(1)(b) states that, a person who knowingly harbours any person whom he knows is to be deported or has reasonable grounds to believe has acted in contravention of this Act commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding GHS1,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or both,” the statement added.

The strongly-worded release by the Immigration Service boss comes on the back of a viral video showing about 5 immigration officials under attack by persons suspected to Nigerians at Kasoa in the Central Region.

  1. Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time
    choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something completely
    unique. P.S Apologies for getting
    off-topic but I had to ask!

  2. Someone necessarily help to make critically articles I would state.
    That is the very first time I frequented your web page
    and so far? I surprised with the research you made to make
    this particular post extraordinary. Excellent job!

  3. Hey there I am so grateful I found your site,
    I really found you by accident, while I was searching on Aol for something
    else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say many thanks for a
    remarkable post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I
    don’t have time to look over it all at the moment but I have book-marked
    it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the
    superb job.

  4. Hey there, I think your website might be having browser
    compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening
    in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to
    give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

  5. I think that what you published was actually very reasonable.

    But, think on this, what if you added a little content?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., but suppose you added something that grabbed
    folk’s attention? I mean Many Nigerians nabbed as GIS begin nationwide
    crackdown | Na so we see am is a little boring.
    You should look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create article headlines to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers
    interested about what you’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.

  6. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article.

    Thanks for the post. I’ll definitely return.

  7. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find most of
    your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for you?
    I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on some of the
    subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome
    weblog!

  8. Heya are using WordPress for your blog platform? I’m
    new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started
    and set up my own. Do you need any coding
    knowledge to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

  10. Hi there terrific blog! Does running a blog like this require a massive amount work?
    I have very little knowledge of computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the
    near future. Anyways, if you have any ideas or tips for new
    blog owners please share. I know this is off topic however I simply needed to ask.
    Cheers!

  11. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and
    interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
    on the head. The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I found this during my search for something regarding this.

  12. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured
    I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you are interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
