A joint operation by the Amansie West District Assembly, Immigration, and Police officers has led to the arrest of 28 foreigners and a landlord for violating Ghana's immigration laws.

The suspects were apprehended in a raid on their hideouts at Pakyi No.1 and No.2 in an operation aimed at curbing illegal immigration in the district.

Prince Manu Morris, the District Chief Executive, warned landlords against renting to undocumented immigrants, emphasising the need to verify tenants' status.

"It's against Ghana's laws," he stressed.

Speaking to journalists, Morris said, "We will not tolerate any form of illegal activity in our district. Landlords must take responsibility for verifying the status of their tenants."

He assured the Assembly's full support in fighting illegal immigration.

The arrested foreigners are currently in police custody, facing charges related to entering Ghana without proper documents.

The landlord is also facing charges for renting out his property to undocumented immigrants.

Morris urged residents to report any suspicious activities to the authorities, saying, "Together, we can make our district a safe and secure place for all."

The Amansie West District Assembly will continue to work with security agencies to enforce immigration laws.
