A Togolese man who was arrested by the police for trying to take part in the nationwide contentious voters' registration has told reporters how he managed to sneak into the country to engage in his illegality.
The
accused, Kouguilique Kouaasi Kampe was arrested at the Pulimakom border post
in the region after his attempt to secure his name in the voters' register
failed and was going back to his country. He has consequently been remanded by
a Magistrate Court in Garu in the Upper West Region of Ghana.
Upon his arrest, Kouguilique told the police that he attempted to register for the voter ID card with the name Yaro Kosi.
He
further told the police that he used unapproved routes to enter the country to
register with the support of two guarantors. To this end, the Police and
Immigration Service had launched a joint investigation into the incident
to arrest the persons who attempted to serve as guarantors for the Togolese.
Perhaps this new development will vindicate the New Patriotic Party’s stubborn stance in asking the EC to compile fresh voters register for the forthcoming elections scheduled for December 2020.
