They have since been handed over to the Burkina Faso authorities on the other side of the border at the Hamile post.
Ghana's borders are currently closed and there are several nationals who have tried to enter the country illegally but have been arrested.
Last month the immigration service interdicted some five officers who are said to have aided these nationals to enter the country.
