Six Immigration Officers Interdicted For Insulting a Deputy Commissioner
Six Immigration officers have been interdicted after they verbally assaulted a Deputy Commissioner of Immigration in public in a viral video.
In a statement, the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) cited the six for gross misconduct.
The incident on November 25, 2025, transpired at the Offinso In-land Checkpoint, where the officers were on duty while the senior officer was travelling as a passenger on a commercial vehicle.
The GIS condemned the statement as a clear breach of its “Code of Conduct” and cannot be tolerated, with the Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI) reiterating that professionalism, respect for authority, and integrity remain core values of the Service.
“The behaviour captured in the video marked by verbal assault, lack of civility, and open disrespect toward a superior officer falls far below the standards expected of personnel of the Service.
“Such conduct is unacceptable, particularly given the Service’s continuous emphasis on professionalism and decorum in the handling of travellers and the execution of official duties.”
It noted that an investigation has been launched into the matter.
“The Service regrets any inconvenience and embarrassment caused to the general public and wishes to reassure the citizenry of its unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of discipline, professionalism, and accountability in the discharge of its mandate.”
