Kulungugu scuffle: GRA, GIS joint committee to probe incident

The Ghana Immigration Service and Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) have agreed to establish a joint committee to probe circumstances that led to a scuffle between officers of the two institutions at the Kulungugu border post in the Upper East Region.

This comes after a meeting between the heads of the two institutions following a viral video on social media which shows officers of GRA and GIS engaged in a scuffle at the Kulungugu border post.

In a joint statement on Monday (29 July), the two institutions assured they will work collaboratively in the interest of national security and development.

“The officers in charge of both Immigration and Customs at the Kulungugu border post have also been directed to work under the auspices of the Border Security Committee (BOSEC) to resolve any immediate issues, while awaiting the report of the Joint Investigative Committee.”

“The comtroller general and the commissioner of customs wish to assure the general public that the Immigration Service and Customs Division together with other border agencies will continue to work collaboratively in the interest of national security and development, and the public will be duly informed on the findings of the investigations,” the joint statement said.
