Togolese refugees have stopped trooping to Ghana

Tinjase (V/R), March 5, GNA - Ghana has not recorded any influx of refugees at its Eastern Frontier with Togo as a result of the Presidential elections in neighbouring Togo.

Ghana News Agency (GNA) checks with the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service, Ghana Immigration Service and the Bureau of National Investigations at the designated points at Wli and Leklebi in the Hohoe Municipality, Menusu in the Kedjebi District and Tinjase in the Nkwanta North District indicated that were no records of refugees.

Heads of the security agencies who spoke to the GNA on condition of anonymity said they were however leaving nothing to chance. They indicated that the Togolese border would be reopened at midnight today after electoral results have been declared by the Togolese Electoral Commission.
