Volta Region Commander of the Service Mr Robert Quartey, who disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency, in an interview on Wednesday, gave the breakdown as 10,543 at Aflao, 2,373 at Menuso in the Kadjebi district, eight at Nyive and nine in Ho.

He said the influx was a temporary phenomenon, which did not warrant any panic over internal security or the causing of food shortage. Mr Quartey said the refugees crossed over to Togo during the day to work and return at night for fear of harassment in their country.

He said though the human traffic from Togo had reduced, his outfit was documenting the names of those who entered Ghana’s territory, including those who claimed they were only visiting relations.

Mr Quartey gave the assurance that the situation was under control and there was no justification for any body to raise false alarm.

Among those registered are eight Reverend Sisters who are being hosted by the Sacred Heart Parish in Ho.
