47 people believed to be Fulanis, migrating to Ghana from Nigeria have been intercepted by the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at the Segbe-border, near Dzodze in the Ketu-North District.<\/p>\n
The migrants, made up of 10 men, 12 women and 25 children, with their personal belongings, were travelling on board a Ghanaian registered cargo truck, ER 956 Z, from Nigeria.<\/p>\n
The group claimed they were on their way to Mafi-Adidome in the Central-Tongu District of the Volta Region.<\/p>\n
A GIS source said the group arrived at the Segbe frontier at about 1630 hours on Sunday with no travelling documents.<\/p>\n
He said they were however holding an unsigned letter from a Nigerian road transport union introducing them as Fulanis, who wanted to settle in Ghana.<\/p>\n
The letter, the source said, pleaded that they were allowed safe entry into the country.<\/p>\n
He said after some brief detention at the border, the group was moved to a destination where interrogation would continue.<\/p>\n
The source said the driver of the truck, whose name was not given, was assisting in investigations.<\/p>\n
