At least 67 aliens and illegal miners have been arrested over the last few days at borders and gold mining camps in Grand Kru County, following Surveillance Border Operations, headed by Hendris Daye of the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS). The arrest of the foreign gold miners, mainly Ghanaians, has disrupted mining activities and sparked a widespread letup in the County. Tobee is also the Grand Kru County LIS’ commander of the Border Patrol Unit. He said Surveillance Border Operations is expected to formally end any time soon, “but there will be lots of off-the-record border patrols to curb aliens based on headquarters’ instruction.”However, the Daily Observer spoke to a Ghanaian, only known as Nana, in Sasstown. According to the tentative schedule of the Surveillance Patrol, the LIS said there will be an intensive patrol in the Sasstown region and its environs, including surveillance patrol at the Buah region.
