Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has taken over the case involving 17 Pakistani nationals who have been arrested over terror suspicion.
Four more Pakistanis were arrested Friday, according to GhanaWeb News, increasing the number to 17 after 13 were initially arrested on Thursday at Assin Fosu in the Central region.
According to local sources suspects sought leniency by claiming they were Ahmadi Muslim missionaries.
Investigations have revealed some of them have been in Ghana since 2015 and they had maintained low profile by posing as Ahmadiyya Muslims when inquired by locals.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Ghana has reported it has no connection with the 17 suspects who have been reportedly seen moving around in the format usually adopted by Tablighi Jama'at preachers hailing from the Punjab Provence of Pakistan.
The General Secretary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Ghana, Ahmed Anderson has disputed their all claims.
“This is very strange, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission is not aware of any group of Pakistanis having recently come into the country in the name of Ahmadiyya mission to preach,” Ahmed Anderson, the General Secretary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission in Ghana, told Accra-based Joy FM.
"[W]e have a very structured system so when people come in, they have defined roles and we engage them in various ways and on no occasion would we allow any Ahmadiyya missionaries to be walking from one destination to another preaching without any recourse to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission,” Anderson added
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) said its preliminary investigations show the group originally entered Ghana on a pretense of religious assignment.
