National Security Operatives have arrested a Nigerian national for attempting to fraudulently acquire a Ghanaian passport.
Had the Operatives not arrived at the Passport Office in Accra on time, Don Ofori Donny would have successfully obtained a Ghanaian passport.
He had already used similar fraudulent means to acquire a birth certificate and a voter’s ID card.

Speaking to Joy News’ Latiff Idris at the headquarters of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI), the suspect said he wanted to belong.
“I am a Nigerian who has been based in Ghana for a long time…I have been part of the people and I made myself part of the people so I decided to do everything [the people do],” he told Latiff.
