Reports indicate that the mob, armed with cutlasses and other weapons, had allegedly tried to set the building and its occupants ablaze.
According to eyewitnesses, the mob had succeeded in burning parts of the building and had stolen valuables, including mobile phones and some cash.
Citinewsroom reported that the attack was triggered by a protracted property dispute between the neighbour, who claims to own the building, and the officers.
The man reportedly tried to evict the officers using intimidation and violent tactics.
This is despite three separate court rulings siding with the Ghana Immigration Service.
Citinewsroom reported that following the attacks, seven individuals and the neighbour were been arrested.

She said she would not compromise on one of her key conditions, no matter the situation.
In a video on X shared by @eddie_wrt, the woman said every tenant must support the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The woman explained that she treats her tenants like her biological children and would do anything for them, but she expected them also to do what she wanted.
