After efforts to get them to return to their base failed, the UNHCR called the police and they were sent to the Cantonments Police Station last Thursday. He said the people could not describe themselves as Liberian refugees in Ghana, as the Liberian refugee situation had been brought to a close since June 30, 2012. An Associate Protection Officer at the UNHCR, Mr Edmund Quartey, said: “It was not true that they had been given three options. “But in the case of the Liberian refugees, this option was not on the table,” Mr Quartey added.
