Government should make sure that they transport all the other nationals back to their countries, otherwise crime rate will be very high if they are allowed to stay in the country. #Send them Home!!

Nonsense a military officers giving press release of having identified crimes in civil operations?? Was your the Police Western Regional Command involved in this exercise? They will just go beat, assault , extort monies, loot and destroy evidence. This is no news , the settlement has been there since operation Vanguard. They should stop throwing dust into the public eye.

It's sad to believe this is reality. So there is no village chief near this community? Ghanaians are really unpatriotic citizens.

According to Muntaka, the foreigners among them would be deported and the Ghanaians prosecuted and jail. The foreigners have nothing to lose but every thing to gain. This is resetting in the wrong direction - anticlockwise.

Only God knows how long they've been living there. There's another one at Nsuaem area called camp and Nsuaem is between Agona Nkwanta and Tarkwa. This camp I'm talking about, I understand the people living there some are ex convicts and other from ECOWAS countries. The galamsey they're doing there is the forest and also in rubber plantations. They've created a complete community there.

Agreed! The immigration officers are so corrupt. Go to the airports and ports of entry; they are just asking for money from travelers. Once you can pay—they let you go. They harass you to give them money. We’re not safe.

It’s rather sad to think that this activities were going on during Akufo-Addo’s tenure as president. Did the NPP government set this up? What’s their excuse? This is beyond belief.

This could not have happened without the tacit connivance of government officials, the police and the traditional rulers of the area. What are all our so-called intelligence outfit doing that this operation was carried out without anyone talking about it? Nobody can convince Ghanaians that the chief of the area, the police commissioner and the people in the area did not know this township exist. Some quinticential Ghanaians, as long as they are getting money from such illegal operation, the whole country can go to hell. That is why we are in this mess. What happened to love of country for the benefit of all?
