Accra, Ghana - 23 May, 2025 - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has announced that the High Court has withdrawn an arrest warrant issued against the Director of Passports, exonerating the official of any involvement in a case related to the alleged issuance of multiple Ghanaian passports to one individual, Dominic Williams.

According to the Ministry, the Director, who assumed office on August 19, 2024, had no connection to the incident, which occurred prior to their tenure.

The Ministry, in a statement, emphasized that records show Williams acquired his first Ghanaian passport over 12 years ago, with the most recent one issued in January 2024, eight months before the current Director took over.

The Ministry commended the Judiciary for its swift and impartial handling of the matter, reiterating its commitment to transparency and accountability in passport administration. Measures are being strengthened to uphold the integrity of the passport issuance process, ensuring professionalism and dedication in serving the Ghanaian public.

This development aims to restore public confidence in the institution's leadership and operations, particularly in light of ongoing investigations into passport fraud.
