The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has carried out a special operation in Kaneshie and Abossey Okai aimed at removing street children and their guardians, many of whom are believed to be foreign nationals.
The early morning exercise, which forms part of a broader nationwide initiative, targeted growing clusters of non-Ghanaian street dwellers - especially minors - who have increasingly taken up positions along pavements and intersections in Accra's commercial zones.
Immigration officers were seen engaging with women and children before escorting them off the streets.
According to officials, the goal of the operation is to decongest public spaces, enhance safety, combat child exploitation, and identify persons residing illegally in Ghana.
