The Dadieso Immigration Sector Commander, Assistant Commissioner Stephen Opoku Agyeman, has assured tight border security.

This he said will ensure that foreigners from neighboring countries are prevented from involving themselves in the limited voter registration exercise in Suaman and Juaboso constituencies.

As part of efforts to ensure the Electoral Commission gets a credible register for the 2024 general elections, the Dadieso Immigration Sector command has strictly intensified security at checkpoints in all approved and unapproved border areas in the Juaboso and Suaman constituencies.

Assistant Commissioner, Stephen Opoku Agyeman said robust measures have been put in place to safeguard the integrity of the electoral process.

Emphasizing the importance of preventing foreign interference, the commander assured the public of stringent border controls to deter non-citizens from participating in the voter registration exercise.

The commitment comes amidst heightened scrutiny over voter eligibility and the need to maintain transparency in democratic procedures.

He further reiterated the sector’s dedication to upholding national security and ensuring that only eligible citizens exercise their right to register and possibly vote.

He warned the major political parties in the area to desist from busing people from outside the country to register, since anyone found culpable shall be arrested and handed over to the police to face the laws of the country.

With the polling day looming, authorities have implemented stringent measures, impacting both commerce and personal travel.

Reports from the border paint a picture of frustration and disruption. Businesses reliant on cross-border trade are facing significant challenges, with movements hampered by increased security measures.

From small traders to larger enterprises, the restrictions have dealt a blow to their operations, leading to financial losses and uncertainty about the future.

Residents and students who regularly traverse the border for various purposes, including education and employment, have been turned away, exacerbating their hardships. Many lamented the sudden disruption, highlighting the inconvenience and uncertainty surrounding their daily routines.

“I used to cross the border frequently to access educational opportunities on the other side. Now, I find myself stuck, unable to pursue my studies,” said a student affected by the restrictions.

The situation has sparked concerns among the affected communities, with hopes pinned on a swift resolution post-election. There is a collective desire for normalcy to return, allowing businesses to resume operations and residents to regain their freedom of movement.

Local authorities have assured residents and businesses that the restrictions are temporary and necessary to ensure the smooth conduct of the elections. However, they have also emphasised the importance of adhering to the measures until the situation stabilizes.

As Togo navigates through this crucial electoral period, the focus remains on maintaining peace and stability.

While the restrictions may present immediate challenges, there is optimism that once the electoral process concludes, normalcy will be restored, and the border will once again become a conduit for trade and travel.
