NIA and Ghana Immigration Service Arrest Togolese Woman at Teshie Over Viral Ghana Card Video
The National Identification Authority (NIA), acting through its Internal Criminal Investigations Department (CID) in a joint operation with the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), has arrested a Togolese national at Teshie in Accra for questioning over her alleged irregular acquisition of a Ghana Card.
The arrest follows the circulation of a viral video on social media in which the woman boasted of obtaining a Ghana Card ahead of numerous eligible Ghanaian citizens. In the widely shared footage, she alleged that registration officials who processed her application mistakenly issued her the national identity card.
According to authorities, the suspect is currently in custody assisting security and intelligence officials with ongoing investigations to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the alleged issuance and uncover how she managed to acquire the document.
In response to the incident, the NIA reiterated its firm commitment to safeguarding the integrity, security, and credibility of Ghana’s national identification system against unauthorized access and procedural breaches.
