The Ghana Immigration Service is set to deport 25 Nigerian ladies arrested in the Bono East Region of the country over prostitution.
The Regional Commander of Immigration Service Department in the Bono East Region, Chief Superintendent Enoch Annor Abrokwa disclosed that the girls will be deported to Nigeria as soon as the process was completed.
Their arrest followed the directive of the Regional Minister, Hon. Kofi Amaokohere to security personnel to rid the region of unlawful elements.
Chief Superintendent Abrokwa said there was a renewed campaign to weed out foreigners engaged in unlawful acts in the territory.
He said the prostitutes were arrested in the Nkoranza South and Kintampo South of the region when officers of the Immigration Service and the Ghana Police Service raided the area.
The Immigration officer revealed that none of the girls had in their possession, any valid form of identification at the time of their arrest.
Chief Superintendent Annor said the Ghana Immigration Service will immediately commence the process for their deportation.
He sounded a strong note of warning to foreigners illegally residing in the region to start packing their belongings as the immigration service will fish them out sooner rather than later.
