A total of 11 Pakistani nationals have been arrested in Techiman, capital of the Bono East region, confirmed officials of the Ghana Immigration Service.
They were arrested on Sunday, June 9, 2019 in their lair of Kenten-Anyinabrem, a suburb of Techiman, about 370 km from the national capital, Accra.
Individuals, all men, were arrested on a phone call, local media reported. The chief commander of the Ghana Immigration Service at Techiman, Chief Superintendent Annor Abrokwa, said that a search had been launched on their Ghanaian counterparts to badist them in their investigations.
"We received information that they were hiding in a place near a garbage dump in the area. When we arrested them, they told us that they were in the area for evangelism and that they were brought into the country by an Amadu Seidu. We contacted local authorities, including the chief imam, who were unaware of their situation in the region, "said Chief Superintendent Annor Abrokwa to Ark Fm, based in Sunyani.
"When we arrested them, they did not have pbadports, so this morning we got their pbadports and we are preparing to transfer them to our headquarters in Accra for a new investigation," he said. -he adds.
Chief Superintendent Abrokwa called on residents to report any suspicious activity of these individuals to the appropriate authorities for action.
He also warned the owners of the area to be wary of these people when renting their rooms.
This development has raised security concerns among residents calling for improved security in the area.
Terrorists risk attacking Ghana
High commissions in the United Kingdom and Canada have updated their travel tips abroad for their nationals traveling to Ghana, warning that terrorists are likely to attempt attacks in the country.
The tips posted on the UK travel guide website add that local civil unrest events can occur at short notice and become violent (sometimes with weapons).
The advice reads as follows: "If you are in these areas, you must remain vigilant, exercise caution and follow the advice of local authorities. If this happens, the local police may impose curfews to contain the situation.
This follows the recent kidnapping of two Canadian nationals in Ahodwo, Kumasi, Ghana's second largest city.
The victims have still not been saved because the police are looking for them. Canadian authorities have also contacted their families about development.
