  • The deportations, ordered by courts, also included 13 Cameroonians, 3 Ivorians, 3 Burkinabe, and 7 Benin nationals.
  • Ashanti Regional Minister Frank Amoakohene commended the Ghana Immigration Service for professionalism.
  • He noted the operation strengthened public safety and respected due process and human dignity.
  • The move occurs amid increased global attention on Nigerians linked to crime abroad.
