By A confrontation erupted between security personnel representing the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) and officials from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at the Tema port, culminating in physical altercations.
A video shared by MyNewsGh.com documented the intense clash between the two parties at the Ghana Port Security and Immigration Service office.
According to reports, around 12 GPHA security personnel stationed at the Meridian Port Services (MPS) purportedly entered the GIS office at MPS with the intention of apprehending two officers.
This action followed a disagreement that occurred during routine vessel inspections on the MSC DYMPHNA at the Tema Port.
The conflict began when GPHA security personnel demanded to conduct searches on the immigration officers after they had finished their inspection tasks at the Tema Port.
However, a GIS inspector objected, stating that while searches of their bags were acceptable, body searches of the officers, particularly by male security personnel, were not permitted.
This objection triggered a verbal dispute between the two factions, which quickly escalated into physical altercations, leading to the tearing of the uniform of one officer, identified as AICO II Boadu.
