A tense confrontation between security personnel from the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) and officials from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at the Tema port ended in a physical altercation, with video footage capturing the intense exchange. Apexnewsgh reports
According to reports, the incident occurred when approximately 12 GPHA security members stationed at the Meridian Port Services (MPS) entered the GIS office at MPS to apprehend two officers following a dispute during routine vessel checks on the MSC DYMPHNA at the Tema Port.
The disagreement stemmed from GPHA security personnel’s insistence on conducting searches on the immigration officers after they had completed their inspection duties at the Tema Port. However, a GIS inspector objected, asserting that while bag searches were permissible, body searches of the officers, particularly by male security personnel, were not acceptable.
The objection led to a verbal confrontation between the two groups, escalating into physical altercations and resulting in the uniform of one officer, identified as AICO II Boadu, being torn.
The incident highlights the need for improved communication and understanding between security agencies to prevent such confrontations in the future.
