The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has cautioned residents living along the Aflao border against giving out their Ghana cards to security personnel.

Mahama's warning is in line with reports that officers of the Ghana Immigration Service at the border are forcefully taking Ghana cards from residents.

However, addressing the residents, the NDC flagbearer charged to resist any intimidation from these officers.“Nobody has a right to collect your Ghana card. Nobody, not immigration, not police, nobody. And so don’t surrender your Ghana card to anybody.

“It is the National Identification Authority that has the right to withdraw your card. Once it has been issued, if somebody thinks you are not a citizen, he has to go to the National Identification Authority and get a certificate of withdrawal of your card before he can come and take your card from you.

“You cannot meet a person on the street and know whether he is Ghanaian or any other thing by his face.”
