The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has interdicted six officers for gross misconduct after a video circulating on social media showed them verbally assaulting a superior officer.
In a statement, the Service said the superior, who identified himself as a Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DCOL), was travelling as a passenger on a commercial vehicle when the incident occurred.
The altercation reportedly took place on November 25, 2025, at the Offinso In-land Checkpoint, where the officers were on duty. The video captured behaviour described as verbal assault, lack of civility, and open disrespect toward the superior officer—actions that fall far below the standards expected of GIS personnel.
The Service emphasised that the officers’ conduct constitutes a clear breach of the Ghana Immigration Service Code of Conduct and is entirely unacceptable.
The Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI) reiterated that professionalism, respect for authority, and integrity remain core values of the Service, and any behaviour undermining these principles will face swift and decisive action.
GIS confirmed that an investigation has been launched, and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken in line with the Ghana Immigration Service Regulations, 2016 (L.I. 2245).
The Service apologised for any inconvenience or embarrassment caused to the public and reassured citizens of its commitment to maintaining high standards of discipline, accountability, and professionalism. Updates will be provided once the investigation concludes.
