The Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Mr Kwame Asuah Takyi has promoted Assistant Immigration Control Officer II Emmanuel Ofosu-Acheampong to the rank of Assistant Immigration Control Officer I (AICO I) for his act of professionalism and bravery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AICO I Emmanuel Ofosu-Acheampong, stationed at the Kasoa Command of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) in the Central East Region, acted on his instincts and foiled what was suspected to be a kidnapping of a young female student along the Nsawam-Amasaman highway while on public transport (Trotro) from Nsawam to Dome in June 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n
