Two officers of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) were ambushed and shot by unidentified gunmen on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Nagani in the Tempane District of the Upper East Region.

According to a report by myjoyonline.com, the incident occurred when the officers, who were returning from night duty on a motorbike, were attacked by the assailants.

An eyewitness recounted, "The attackers laid an ambush and shot at the unsuspecting officers.”

The report further noted that both officers sustained severe gunshot wounds, and they were rushed to the Upper East Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga, where they are receiving emergency treatment.

The latest attack occurred less than a month after a similar incident at Gbintiri, where armed men opened fire on two GIS officers stationed at an inland checkpoint.

Investigators later retrieved an AK-47 shell and a service rifle from the scene.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Immigration Service is yet to issue an official statement; preliminary reports indicate that a formal investigation has commenced to apprehend the perpetrators.
