IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
Information relating specifically to the
issuing of arrest warrants and "wanted" notices is currently
unavailable to the IRBDC in Ottawa. A Ghanaian Professor in the
Department of Social Sciences at Bennett College, Greensboro, North
Carolina, stated during a telephone conversation with the IRBDC
(14 Apr. 1992), that there is no clear-cut process involved in the
arrest of those suspected of subversion or other crimes. He
clarified that suspects are normally picked up in the middle of the
night. This information is corroborated by an article published in
Africa Events (Mar.-Apr. 1988). According to this source,
agents of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) come at
midnight (Africa Events Mar.-Apr. 1988, 14). The name of the
culprit may or may not be published in the government-sponsored
paper (Ibid.). For further information on this topic please
refer to the attached document.
