The Police Headquarters District Court has sentenced a Cameroonian and a Togolese to 36 months imprisonment each with hard labour and a fine of GH₵18,000.00 each for illegally acquiring Ghana Cards and birth certificates. Samuel Sagbo, 31, a barber from Togo and Edwin Nwanchan Ndum alias Edwin Mensah, 37, an unemployed Cameroonian will serve an additional 36 months jail time each should they default in paying the fines. The two foreigners were arrested when they attempted to acquire Ghanaian passports after they had posed as Ghanaians. Sagbo and Ndum admitted that they attempted to obtain Ghanaian passports by false declaration, obtaining Ghanaian birth certificates by false declaration, obtaining Ghana National Identity (ID) cards as well as illegally entering the country. The Court presided over by Rosemond Vera Aryeetey Ocloo sentenced them accordingly to serve a prison term of 12 months each and pay a fine of GH₵500 penalty units on each charge (equivalent to GH₵6,000.00) for attempting to obtain the passports, obtaining the birth certificates and obtaining the Ghana ID cards.
