A serious altercation erupted between the security personnel of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) and the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) officials, leading to a physical confrontation.<\/p>\n

A video available to Citi News captured the tense moments between the two groups at the Ghana Port Security and immigration service.<\/p>\n

Information gathered indicates that a group of about 12 GPHA security members, at Meridian Port Services (MPS), allegedly barged into the GIS office at MPS to apprehend two officers after a disagreement during standard vessel checks on the MSC DYMPHNA.<\/p>\n

It is reported that the GPHA security insisted on searching the officers upon completion of their inspection duties.<\/p>\n

However, one Inspector made it clear that they could search their bags but rejected their request to search the individual officers because he claimed under no circumstance should a male search a female officer.<\/p>\n

This however did not go down well with the GPHA Security which resulted in the trading of insults and physical harassment.<\/p>\n

The confrontation resulted in the tearing of the uniform belonging to an officer identified as AICO II Boadu.<\/p>\n
