The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, has ordered an immediate investigation into a disturbing viral video that appears to show Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) personnel in uniform aggressively dragging a sick United States deportee on the floor from a hotel at Ogbojo, Accra.
The incident, which caused widespread social media outrage, allegedly occurred despite indications that the individual was unwell and on medication.
A dramatic and tense situation unfolded at the VICSEM Hotel on November 11, 2025, as GIS officials attempted to forcibly remove a group of deportees recently repatriated from the United States.
Immigration officials were spotted in viral videos dragging a woman on the floor into a waiting vehicle.
The intention of their action is not clear but the attempted removal suggests officials were trying to move the individuals from the hotel facility where they were initially accommodated upon arrival.
