It is one thing to have a plan, go to another man's coventry to WORK and make money. I can't wrap my mind around the idea of people leaving their country for the sole purpose of being public nuisance and pan-handling. Ghana should run a routine military transport plane service to ship off these beggars, prostitutes, and scammers. Fingerprint all of them electronically. If they come back, they could be charged with felony trespassing. They will serve jail time before ship off.

The Ghana immigration service has a station just a short distance from that Tulaku at Ashaiman, and they should be aware that trucks that bring those cattle also illegally bring those beggars and street boys. You and the Ghana immigration service who should know better or are they saying if citizens don't complain they won't arrest or deport them or they are happy seeing the felty and the nuisance these people are causing on the streets

It’s about time and indeed long overdue. They should never be allowed to continue with such nuisance in the country.

Good move but i suggest GIS moves with additional female staff so that women are handling women due to religious and custural sensitivities and also avoid any cases of abuse.

So it had to take Saddick to bring this to the attention of the fuuls managing this country thru social media before action is taken. Somebody wants to be the father of Africa as AU chairman and has decided to open our borders for all manner of criminals to enter. I'm having a feeling America will arrest him before his term will end.

So these people will only do their jobs when it’s highlighted on social media. Are they not the same people who allow them to enter the country illegally?

Good move by Ghana Immigration Service. These beggars have become nuisances in our country, and if care is not taken, they will metamorphose into criminals whose actions will be a tough nut to crack for our security agencies. For instance, in some reported armed robbery incidents some of the suspects were from Niger, etc. So, I fully support this decision.

However, this exercise has been done in the past, yet, they found their way back into the country. So, what measures have GIS put in place to prevent these people from (re)entering our country?

The exportation of beggars from the Sahel towards the coastal countries has been happening for decades but poverty has now aggravated

Nigeria is the worst hit, most of these beggers are Mohammed worshippers the arid regions who see Nigeria being by far the wealthiest country on the continent where nobody cares about immigration as a country to go and beg

Before I was born, there were Taureg beggers all over Nigeria, then from Mali, Niger, Chad, central Africa republic, Cameroon etc, anyone who could murmur words in Hausa ran to Nigeria, many became citizens and became gainfully employed while others took to begging and different types of nuisance

There is no country on earth that has immigration issues more than Nigeria does, it's just that Nigeria does not bother about such things

The country has laws the have been over looked for years so its refreshing to know the reset of government is making the system work and laws respected. If ccare isnt taken now these very beggers will become a security threat to our nation. They might be spouses of boko haram insurgents. Send them back. Make begging a crime on the streets of ghana nationwide. If genuine persons need help they should register with social services .

Let's see how many are transported to distant villages. Axim immigration officer Emmanuel Adams is accused of doing that. I know as fact that he destroyed a public road in Esiama to punish the Americans who called out his pattern of illegal activities. Eleven months later and he still has not been punished. The road is still destroyed. The people behind the road endured massive flooding this year because the heavy machine broke the covet.

The Axim immigration office responded by hauling us in for spreading the story online. He has been evading court service since October 2025. His office is a stone's throw from the courthouse! Make it make sense.

Yes. We tried getting a court order for Substitute Service. All our lawyer did was make excuses while billing us for his sheer incompetence.
