Over 70 Ghanaian immigrants have been deported from the United States
for visa-related offenses, including staying illegally and overstaying
their permits in the country.
3news reports that all the male deportees arrived on Wednesday at the Accra’s Kotoka International Airport in handcuffs, before they were handed over to local authorities.
Although, the actual number of the deported immigrants was not
officially revealed, the deportees were screened by the National
Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), the Ghana Immigration Service
and the Ghana Police Service and were reported to have been given 100
Ghana Cedis ($23) each, after clearance as some of them had no means to
contact their families.
This is the second mass deportation of Ghanaians from the United States in recent times.
