The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has confirmed that disturbances which broke out at the Hamile Border Post in the Upper West Region on Saturday evening have been brought under control.
According to a statement issued by the Service, the incident, which occurred on September 13, 2025, involved some members of the local community and led to tensions at the border area.
