More than 200 Ghanaians are stranded in Cote D’Ivoire, the Assistant Superintendent of Immigration (ASI) Rickey Nana Yaw Boakye, an Officer of the Sampa Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in the Bono Region has said.

They are seemingly, some of the unsuspecting victims of “Q-Net”, a popular fraudulent online scheme, which allegedly lured and defraud people of huge sums of money, under the pretext of securing them jobs abroad.

ASI Boakye indicated that Sampa Command was collaborating with its counterpart in Ivory Coast to rescue and repatriate the stranded Ghanaian migrants, including women and girls, back home.

Last year, the command with support from other security agencies rescued and brought about 200 of the victims back home through the Ghana-Cote D’Ivoire border in the Jaman North District of the region, he stated.

ASI Boakye made this known when speaking in an interview with Sompa FM in Sunyani.

ASI Boakye said expressed disgust about the forms of human rights abuses the victims went through, saying “now as we speak about 200 of the victims are locked up in a room in Ivory Coast and they are not allowed to go out.”
