The Weija Sector Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has arrested 11 foreign nationals for their involvement in counterfeit money printing and cyber fraud operations at a residential apartment in Tuba, Accra.
The suspects were picked up on January 5, 2026, during an intelligence-led operation carried out by the Anti-Human Trafficking and Cyber Fraud Taskforce Unit of the Weija Sector Command.
During the raid, officers retrieved several items believed to be used in illegal activities. These included laptops, routers, mobile phones, fake U.S. dollar notes, and table-top printers and photocopier machines suspected to be used in the production of counterfeit currency.
According to the GIS, the suspects are currently in custody as investigations continue.
The Service expressed appreciation to the public for their continued cooperation and urged citizens to remain alert, reporting any suspicious activities involving foreign nationals to law enforcement authorities.
GIS also cautioned landlords and property owners to exercise due diligence when renting out their properties to foreigners, reminding the public that harbouring illegal immigrants constitutes an offence under Section 52(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 2000 (Act 573).
The Comptroller-General of Immigration and the Service’s management reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding Ghana’s territorial integrity and enforcing immigration laws across the country.
