Ghana Immigration Service repatriates 32 West African nationals over cybercrime | Ghana News Agency
Ghana Immigration Service repatriation, 32 West African nationals and repeated specific wording support qualified shared coverage. The fuller source specifies 24 Nigerians/eight Togolese and Akatsi/Ho operations. It is distinct from Kasoa Tuba’s 32 Nigerians, the 48-person operation and 57-person rescue. Nationality and repatriation do not establish culpability, a single criminal organization or voluntary scam participation.
