The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has announced that it has successfully deported five foreign nationals out of the eight who were found guilty of engaging in illegal QNET-related activities and subsequently convicted on September 9, 2025.
GIS said the remaining three are set to be repatriated by the end of the week.
“After serving , the individuals have been transferred to the Immigration Service Holding Centre in Accra. They remain in lawful custody pending repatriation to their home countries.
“The process has begun, with most already returned; the remaining three Burkinabé nationals are scheduled for deportation by the end of the week,” GIS said in a statement issued on January 14, 2026.
The eight foreign nationals were arrested in August 2025 for engaging in illegal QNET-related activities and subsequently convicted on September 9, 2025. They have completed their six-month custodial sentences at Nsawam Prisons.
The individuals include; Alabe Sanga (Burkinabe), Mafo Clareisse (Cameroonian), Sylvie Amatala (Togolese), Mohammed Jazaw (Burkinabe), Modesto Forgane (Cameroonian), Soulemane Biibal (Burkinabe), Doubo Prince (Togolese) and Ben Kaze (Togolese).
The Service commended the public for the continuous support and urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities of any foreigner in the various communities to the law enforcement agencies.
The Service also urged landlords and property owners to exercise due diligence when renting out their properties to foreign nationals, noting that harbouring illegal immigrants is an offence under section 52(1)(b) of the Immigration Act 2000 Act 573.
The Comptroller General of Immigration and Management of the Service remains committed to protecting the territorial integrity of the country and ensuring compliance with immigration laws at all times.
