About 90 Togolese and Beninois have been apprehended at Kenyasi, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
They were arrested on April 3, 2020, upon a tipoff by a joint military taskforce of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
WO1 William Osei Atakora, Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly Security Liaison Officer, told Kumasi FM’s Elisha Adarkwah that the foreigners were lodging in different houses in the community.
He said they were brought to the Kumasi South Hospital for screening under the instructions of the Ashanti Regional Minister and mayor of Kumasi around 8:30 pm.
He said they were handed over to the Immigration Service and have been quarantined.
About 70 out of the 90 were from Benin, he said.
