A 41-year-old Nigerian woman, Franca Wilson, has been sentenced to six months in prison in Ghana for trying to obtain a Ghanaian passport with forged nationality documents.
The Ghana Immigration Service confirmed the conviction in a report published by the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation on Thursday.
Earlier, Ghana’s Citi Newsroom reported on Wednesday that Wilson, a welder, pleaded guilty before the Adabraka District Court in Accra on May 12, 2026.
She was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment with hard labour on three counts, with the sentences to run concurrently.
