Speaking to the press on April 17, the minister said some 160 Ghanaians were still set to be deported.

Ablakwa revealed that some deportees have been arriving, but being kept under the radar.

“We are decided on humanitarian and human rights grounds not to publicise the deportation so when they arrive, our team welcomes them, we help them with integration and return to their families.”

“It is important to respect the dignity of our fellow compatriots and not subject them to media coverage and publicity that will injure their reputation and their ability to integrate, find work and get their lives back so that is going on.”
