The Akanu Sector Command of the Ghana Immigration Service has intercepted fifty-four (54) 25-litre gallons of fuel at Kopeyia, near the Kpoglo Border Post on suspicion of an attempt to smuggle them into Togo.
The gallons were on board a Toyota Carina vehicle with Togolese registration number TG 9378 AQ and have since been tested by officials of the National Petroleum Authority, Ho.
The arrest was made by Insp. Ebenezer Asa-Appiah, Asst Insp Israel Gidisu and ICO Benjamin Prah during routine patrols.
The Ghana Immigration Service wishes to caution border residents and the general public against acts that are against the laws of the country and adversely affect Ghana’s economy.
Residents are further cautioned that the Service is on a heightened border patrols along the borders, especially the unapproved ones and anyone caught engaged in cross border crimes will be made to face the full rigors of the law.
