“I urge Ghanaian landlords to be cautious when giving out their properties. They need to verify whether the individuals have residence permits,” he said, as quoted by Citinewsroom.
“If they don’t, they need to report them. If this landlady had gone by the dictates of the law, she would not find herself wanting.”
Detailing the operation, the Chief Superintendent of the Operations Department of the Ghana Immigration Service, David Asiedu-Addo, said 31 of the arrested persons are Nigerians.
“We received intel days ago that there were some undocumented migrants around East Legon hills,” he noted.
