WuzupNaija recalls that according to statistics from the Nigeria High Commission in Accra, Ghana reportedly deported 723 Nigerians within the past 12 months.

The deportees were so accused of indulging in cybercrime, prostitution, illegal residence and unruly public conduct. The deportees were reportedly molested and tortured by officials of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) before being thrown out of that country.
