The Federal Government is ready to collaborate with the
Ghanaian Government to curb cyber and other crimes in both countries to promote
regional growth and relationship, Ghanaian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Alhaji
Rashid Bawa, said.
Bawa made this known on Wednesday in Calabar when he paid a
courtesy visit to the Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service in Cross River
State, Mr Felix Uche.
He said that authorities in Nigeria and Ghana had realised
that with the collaboration, cybercrime and other crimes would drastically
reduce.
According to him, when collaborative measures are taken,
sponsors of these crimes will be prosecuted according to the laws in their
respective countries which will bring an end to such crimes.
He added that “as we speak, this matter is been discussed at
the highest level. The Comptroller General of the Ghanaian Immigration Service
and his counterpart in Nigeria had a fruitful discussion about this a month
ago.
“Experts from Ghana and Nigeria will be meeting soon to come
out with a road map to deal with some of these issues that are currently taking
place.
“In the course of the discussion, it came out clearly that
there are cartels that operate behind these cyber crimes and prostitution of
our young ones.
“Ghana believes that with the collaboration, Nigerian
Government and security services will help to unravel the root causes as the
laws of each country will be applied to minimise crimes.”
The High Commissioner commended the Nigeria Immigration
Service in Cross River State for having a smooth relationship with the Ghanaian
community and urged Ghanaians to always be of good conduct in the state.
The immigration Comptroller in the state assured the
Ghanaian High Commissioner of peaceful coexistence between Nigerians and
Ghanaians within his command.
He said that the immigration service had always treated
Ghanaians in the state with respect and decency to foster the economic and West
African state’s relationship.
He added that “majority of Ghanaians in the state have the
valid travel documents that guarantee them the privilege to stay in the state.
“All we want is for them to be law abiding and peaceful;
that is what we expect from them.”
