The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, and management members of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) have visited an injured immigration officer receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra following the deadly explosion at Hamile in the Upper West Region.

The visit was to check on the condition of Inspector Rashad Yussif, who sustained serious injuries in the blast and was airlifted from the Nandom Hospital to Accra for further medical attention.

The government deployed a Ghana Air Force medical team to facilitate his transfer after he received initial treatment at the Nandom Hospital.

The explosion occurred on Tuesday, November 3, along an unapproved route at Hamile, when a tricycle reportedly transporting suspected explosives went off during a border patrol operation.
