GIS says the behaviour of the officers falls far below the standards expected of its personnel
Six officers of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have been interdicted for gross misconduct after a video circulated on social media showing them verbally abusing a superior officer.
The superior officer, who is identified as a Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DC01), was travelling in a commercial vehicle when the confrontation happened on November 25, 2025, at the Offinso Inland Checkpoint, where the officers were stationed.
The GIS said the behaviour captured in the video—including verbal attacks, lack of courtesy, and outright disrespect toward a superior—falls far below the standards expected of its personnel.

The Service described the incident as unacceptable, especially considering its ongoing efforts to promote professionalism and proper conduct in dealing with travellers and performing official duties.
In a statement issued on November 28, 2025, the GIS stressed that the officers’ actions violate the Service’s Code of Conduct.
The Comptroller-General reaffirmed that professionalism, respect for authority, and integrity are core principles of the Service, and warned that any behaviour that undermines these values will face swift and firm disciplinary action.
The Service also apologised for any embarrassment caused to the public and assured Ghanaians of its continued commitment to discipline, professionalism, and accountability.
