According to Sylvester Parker-Allotey, acting Director of Passports, last week, 22 Ghanaian passports issued to foreigners were intercepted in Italy and the bearers were arrested by the Italian authorities.

Their particulars have been sent to the Document Fraud Office of the Police CID for prosecution.

Parker-Allotey appealed to the public to be vigilant and report to the police any non Ghanaian that they know or suspect to possess the country’s passport since such persons are likely to indulge in criminal activities that would damage the country’s image.
