The Volta Regional Commander of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DCOI) Noah Ahomka Yeboah, has called on the chiefs and people of the Volta Region to cooperate with the personnel of the service to protect the country against criminals and extremist groups.
DCOI Yeboah said the Volta Region had the largest number of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) members entering into the country than any other region, which called for strategic security measures to protect the country.
Speaking in an interview with The Ghanaian Times in Ho yesterday, he mentioned that the regional command of the GIS had instituted measures to ensure adequate security of the country including the inland immigration posts at Asikuma and Sogakope.
DCOI Yeboah indicated that the call by the Volta Regional House of Chiefs (VRHC) to remove the immigration posts at Asikuma and Sogakope was impossible since its absence would pose serious security threat to the country.
