Per a report by Ghana News Agency, the Chief Superintendent of Immigration (CSI), Peter Philip Andoh, stated that the GIS is waiting for the outcome of the application of the suspects before proceeding with the prosecution.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the suspects were picked up for engaging in illegal business and staying in Ghana without permits.

In other news, YEN.com.gh has learned that a man and woman in Burkina Faso have decided to raise their daughter as both a Muslim and Christian.

Records available show that five-year-old Osnia Ouattara is being introduced to both the Catholic faith of her father, Denis Ouattara and the Muslim faith of her mother, Afoussatou Sanou. In a rather unique display of religious integration, Osnia celebrates both Christmas and the Islamic festival of Eid.

One of the photos taken at an office Christmas party in 2015 and displayed in their home shows Osnia meeting Father Christmas when she was a baby.

Sanou also noted that her daughter accompanies her to the mosque and also goes to the church with her father on Sundays.
