Travelers passing through Kotoka International Airport in Accra can finally breathe a huge sigh of relief. The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has officially confirmed that the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) officer captured on video begging a passenger for “breakfast” money is no longer stationed at the facility.
The swift administrative action followed a widely shared viral video that triggered intense public outrage across social media platforms. In the trending clip, the uniformed officer solicited cash from a traveler, drawing sharp criticism from Ghanaians who condemned the shameful conduct at the nation’s premier international gateway.
GACL management took notice of the disturbing video and engaged the Ghana Immigration Service to ensure immediate disciplinary steps. Immigration authorities acted promptly by transferring the officer away from airport operations to protect the image of Ghana’s aviation industry.
This transfer forms part of a wider, aggressive crackdown against illegal extortion and unprofessional behavior across all Ghanaian airport terminals. GACL recently rolled out strict anti-corruption measures, including a mystery shopping initiative with undercover observers, a name and shame policy, and dedicated public reporting hotlines.
Airport management warns all station personnel that surveillance remains active across all passenger areas. Passengers and aviation observers have praised the decisive response, reminding travelers to report any officer requesting unauthorized payments so our airports remain professional and welcoming to all.
