Mr Edem Elliot Agbenorwu, the Municipality Chief Executive (MCE) for Ketu South in the Volta Region has said 14 Ghanaians and two foreign nationals who entered Ghana "illegally" this week were in quarantine at a designated facility in the Municipality.
He alleged the 16 persons were aided by commercial motor riders through the over 25 unapproved routes along the Ghana-Togo border but handed over to the Municipal Assembly by personnel of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).
Mr Agbenorwu told the Ghana News Agency that, "the two foreigners are Nigerians and the 14 Ghanaians were returning from UK, U.A.E, South Africa and America via the Airport in Lomé, Togo."
He said due to the development, the Municipal Security Council had banned commercial motor activities along the beats (unapproved routes).
"The Military will assist the Ghana Immigration Service at these unapproved routes and will deal with any commercial motor rider for insubordination," he told GNA.
The Ghana News Agency earlier reported that travelers were allegedly using unapproved routes at Zukope, Akporkploe, Apedido, Fihokope and Aveyiborme to cross to and from Togo at night and dawn after the main Aflao-Lome border was closed as part of measures to contain the spread of the Coronavirus disease.

Kay you are as ***barred word*** as ehat you've written here,it doesnt make even a nursary sense. Listen, talking about national issues is not a force for any idi*ot to open their cavities to spew nons*ense! No wonder Nigerians view some Ghanaians as empty barrels yabi yabi yabi for nothing! You people must keep quiet and stop exposing your ignor**ance to the world and making mockery of Ghana.Aden wo ankasa aa wo bewu? Who invited you for this? dont tell me its your right to speak your opinion ,its my right also to tell you to sh*ut up when you don't make sense.
They should deploy young soldiers to come and kill you and your family. Aboafun! You and family have what to eat daily so you want others who try to go and get something to support their families killed because they probably flout the law. May God punish you.
Look GAF.. ...Should deploy some hardcore young officers to initiate shoot to kill okada riders trying to smuggle people in ......u from u.k and u won't stay where u are .......
Some of these measures are stoupid. If Ghanaians were outside the Ghana/Togo border before the announcement for border closure, they need to be allowed in and quarantine as has been done now. But if you don't, how do they survive outside in Togo? Some of them might just travelled to buy or sell there and come back.
