US-Africa deportations: Sent to Ghana and then transferred

The Nigerian man deported from the United States to Ganu said Bi -Bi -x, that now he was stuck in the hotel in that after he and the others were secretly transferred to the neighboring country by officers of the Gans.

The man said that they were informed that they would be moved from a military camp to better housing, but then they were “thrown” in that. Bi -B -s turned to the Ghana government for comments.

The US government deported Nigerian man – along with other citizens of West Africa – as part of its suppression of immigration.

Foreign Minister Ghana Samuel Okazeto Ablakva previously stated that the government adopted deported in the spirit of Panfrican Empathy.

The Nigerian, who requested anonymity for security reasons, claimed that the Gan officers took him and five other deported in the rear route. He also claimed that this was done after the bribery of the local police, and without informing the to the toleous authorities about their entry.

“They did not lead us across the main border, they led us through the back door. They paid the police there and threw us into that, ”he said.

The authorities of Tomles did not comment on the alleged presence of deported on their territory.

Four of the group – three Nigerians and Liberian – then registered at the hotel in Loma, the capital of Tomelez, which lies across the border, from where they were left.

Without his own documents, he said that they rely on the hotel staff in order to get money from relatives abroad to cover their accounts.

“We are struggling to survive in that kind of documents,” he said.

“None of us have a family in that. We just got stuck in the hotel, ”he added. “Right now we are just trying to survive until our lawyers can help us in this situation.”

He said that, while in Ghana, they asked for the best living conditions, since the environment in the military camp where they were placed was “deplorable”.

“Life there was really difficult, so we asked for a better place, the best medicine, better health care and better water,” said the BBC Nigerian.

He said that a few days later, officials of the immigration service arrived at the camp, saying that they took six of them to the hotel for more comfort, but they were across the border in that.

“When we arrived, we asked what we were doing on the border, and they told us that they wanted us to sign some documents so that they could take us to the hotel, but we did not sign anything,” he added.

The Nigerians told BBC that the language barrier in that complicated communication. The official language of that is French, and he spoke English.

He also said that his deportation influenced his family in the United States.

“I have a house in the USA where my children live. How should I pay a mortgage? I do not know how they will be controlled until they are. My children cannot see me, and it is so intense, ”he complained.

He said that he was a member of the movement for the self-determination of Yorub, an activist organization, who plays behind the ejoice of the state in the south-west of Nigeria for the ethnic group of Yorube.

Although the movement is not prohibited, it was in the crosshair of the Nigerian government, and 27 people were arrested last year for participating in his campaign.

From his belonging to the group, the man told BBC that he fears that returning to Nigeria could lead to his arrest and torture. Nigerian deported said that he was under the defense of the US court, which was supposed to protect him from deportation from the United States.

He was part of a group of West Africans deported to Ganu last month, which also included citizens of that Liberia and Gambia.

According to their lawyers, they were previously kept in American opinion, and then they flew out on a US military in shackles.

The assistant secretary of the US Department of Internal Security Trisha Mclaflin told Ba -Bi -x that all those who were deported to Ganu were “illegal foreigners” who “received a proper legal procedure and had a final order to move away from the immigration judge.”

She added that many were “disgusting criminals with rap lines who included a child’s injury, robbery, attack under aggravating circumstances and fraud.”

The Nigerian denied that he was a criminal, while President Ghana John Mahama said: “Gana will not, and I repeat, will not become a dump for deported and will not accept people with criminal origin.”

The US government policy in deportation of a third country has criticized: several countries repel the strategy, Including NigeriaField

President John Mahama announced a deal with Ghana to accept citizens from various countries of West Africa. He said that the United States turned to the United States to accept the deported ones, and agreed, because in West Africa there was a free movement of people.

Since then, the Foreign Minister Ablakva said that Gana did not receive financial rewards for the adoption of deported.

Opposition deputies demanded an immediate suspension of the deportation agreement until it is ratified by parliament, but the government said that it plans to accept another 40 deported ones.

The lawyers of the deporters began a lawsuit against both the US governments and Ghana, saying that their rights were violated.
