A clash broke out between security personnel from the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) and officials from the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at the Tema port, ending in fisticuffs.
A video posted by MyNewsGh.com captured the tense confrontation between the two groups at the Ghana Port Security and Immigration Service office.
Reportedly, approximately 12 GPHA security members stationed at the Meridian Port Services (MPS) allegedly entered the GIS office at MPS intending to apprehend two officers following a disagreement during routine vessel checks on the MSC DYMPHNA at the Tema Port.
The dispute arose when GPHA security personnel insisted on searching the immigration officers after they had completed their inspection duties at the Tema Port.
However, a GIS inspector objected, asserting that while searches of their bags were permissible, body searches of the officers, especially by male security personnel, were not allowed.
The objection sparked a verbal confrontation between the two groups, escalating into physical altercations and resulting in the uniform of one officer, identified as AICO II Boadu, being torn.
