Two Immigration Officers were shot by unidentified gunmen around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Nagani in the Tempane District of the Upper East Region.

According to reports, the officers, who were on duty at the time, sustained severe gunshot wounds and were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency medical attention. Their current conditions are yet to be disclosed.

The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Tempane, Mr. Mbilla Joseph, confirmed the tragic incident and assured the public that a full-scale investigation has been launched. He added that security agencies are working tirelessly to track down the perpetrators and ensure justice is served.

Mr. Mbilla further urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with authorities by providing any information that could aid in the arrest of the attackers.

The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has not yet issued an official statement, but the shooting has sparked widespread concern about the growing insecurity and risks faced by security personnel stationed in border communities within the Upper East Region.

Authorities have since intensified patrols in and around Nagani to prevent further incidents as investigations continue.
