Watch how immigration officers allegedly brutalised a Ghanaian because he was 'white' but had a Ghana Card

A group of officers from the Ghana Immigration Service allegedly subjected Ghanaian, Michael Cham, whom they believed to be an 'alien' due to his white skin colour, to severe beatings in Mim, a community in the Ahafo Region.

According to a report by Kofi TV, the immigration officers, who appeared to have been monitoring the man, confronted him while he was shopping at a mall.

The officers questioned Michael Cham about his nationality, to which he responded affirmatively and showed them his Ghana Card as proof.

Despite this, they attempted to arrest him, claiming he was a foreigner who had illegally obtained the Ghana Card, the country's National Identification Card.

Cham resisted the arrest, maintaining that he was Ghanaian, which escalated into a confrontation in the shopping mall.

CCTV footage of the incident depicts the man struggling with the officers, with one of them delivering a heavy blow to his face.

The officers eventually removed Cham from the mall, leaving him with blood streaming down his face.

According to Kofi TV's Kofi Adoma Nwanwani, their investigation revealed that Michael Cham is a Ghanaian with a Ghanaian mother and an expatriate father.

He belongs to a well-known family in Mim that owns the Desmond Saw Mill.
