The Chief of Kuyoli, in the Tatale Traditional Area, Ubor Nambu Jacobki has refuted claims by the Northern Regional Office of the Ghana Immigration Service that the people of his community are notorious smugglers.

The Chief is therefore demanding an apology from the Immigration Service.

Ubore Nambu Jacobki said a press release issued by the GIS on June 22, following the death of one of its officers alleged that the people of Kuyuli were noted for “their notoriety in smuggling activities”.

While expressing his condolences to the GIS for their loss, he also described the statement to the media as “unfortunate and untrue” and urged officers to immediately render an apology to him and the people of Kuyuli.

In an official letter to the GIS dated on June 23, Ubore Nambu said the GIS failed to conduct thorough investigations into the smuggling activities along the border to establish the real perpetrators.

“It is however noted with deep regret that, your outfit without conducting any thorough investigations will conclude and describe the good people of Kuyuli in the Tatale/Sangule District as being noted for their notoriety in smuggling activities.”

The Chief said his people are law abiding and hospitable people who have accommodated personnel of the GIS for a long time now.
