The National Identification Authority (NIA) has responded to a viral video in which several Ghana cards were seen abandoned at their office.
The NIA says the cards seen in the video have outlived the 10-year period and were approved to be destroyed.
A section of the Ghanaian public raised concerns over the video with some stating that the cards should be handed over to the owners since it was wasting away.
But the NIA in the statement revealed that the cards were printed between 2008-2014 and were kept in the basement of the NIA headquarters building located at South Legon.
The statement further explained that the cards have been audited by the Board of Survey and passed for destruction.
Ir also disclosed that the cards were covered with a tarpaulin but someone removed it and made the video just to court negative reactions against the NIA.
