The Ghana Immigration Service has been ordered by a court to pay a total of GH¢910,000 in damages and lost earnings to Ghanaian citizen Kwabena Baffour Asare.
According to court documents shared by The Law Platform, the High Court, which heard the case, delivered its verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Kwabena Baffour Asare, after the Ghana Immigration Service prevented him from boarding a flight to Germany in June 2022.
This incident resulted in the loss of his job, where he had worked for 30 years.
Legal counsel representing the plaintiff, Kwabena Baffour Asare, stated that Asare, a resident of Berlin, Germany, traveled to Ghana in May 2022 to attend his late mother's funeral and planned to return to Germany on June 17, 2022.
