Personnel at the Sogakope Inland Immigration Checkpoint of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have arrested three Nigerians for illegal entry amid the country’s border closure.

GIS in a statement identified the persons as Emmanuel Christopher, Chukuma Onyiauka, and Sylvia Jamaho who entered with the assistance of some Togolese nationals.
