The Ghanaian government has deported at least 42 Nigerians from the Ashanti Region after various courts found them guilty of prostitution, fraud, and other related offences.
Ashanti Regional Minister Frank Amoakohene disclosed the development on social media, noting that other foreign nationals were also deported. These include 13 Cameroonians, three Ivorians, three Burkinabe, and seven nationals from Benin.
“A total of 42 Nigerians, 13 Cameroonians, 3 Ivorians, 3 Burkinabe, and 7 Benin nationals have been deported from the Ashanti Region to their respective countries following various court rulings involving Q-Net, prostitution, and other criminal activities.
I commend the Ghana Immigration Service for its professionalism, diligence, and firm commitment to enforcing our immigration laws while upholding due process and human dignity. Their collaboration with the courts and other security agencies continues to strengthen public safety, protect vulnerable persons, and preserve law and order in the region,” he said.
The deportation of Nigerians comes amid growing reports of heightened scrutiny and mass arrests of Nigerians living abroad.
