Nigerian National Jailed For Posing As Ghanaian To Get Ghana Card
The National Identification Authority (NIA), issuers of the Ghana Card, has said one of its officers has triggered the arrest and sentencing of a Nigerian national who tried to secure the Ghana Card.
In a press statement published on its website on March 13, 2022, the NIA said the Asokore Mampong District Magistrate court, has sentenced Usman Emmanuel, the Nigerian citizen and a resident of Sawaba in Kumasi, for falsely representing himself as a Ghanaian to acquire a Ghana Card contrary to law.
“Carrying a Ghanaian Birth Certificate, Usman Emmanuel claimed he was a Ghanaian, hence eligible to register for the Ghana Card. Having gone through the registration process, Usman Emmanuel was left to be issued with the Ghana Card. It was at this point the Regional Registration Officer (RRO) of NIA in the Ashanti Region suspected the applicant was not a Ghanaian.
“The RRO quickly handed him over to the Police CID at Adum, Kumasi, for further investigation. The investigation established that despite being in possession of a valid Ghanaian Birth Certificate, Usman Emmanuel was not a Ghanaian,” the NIA said in the release.
