According to the young man, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is enticing Ghanaian immigrants with $1,500, equivalent to GH¢22,757.93, to provide information on their friends who lack proper residence permits.

This unfortunate situation, he suggested, had led to the arrest and detention of many African immigrants in the US.

In a video circulating on TikTok, Nana Yaw said he would wish the worst of anyone who snitched on him to the ICE officers for questioning.

"I have heard that people are taking $1,500 to provide information on illegal immigrants. Why are Africans like that? How much is $1,500 that you have to snitch on your brother? No one should try this on me. If this thing affects me and I'm deported, I will curse the person who did that to me when I get to Ghana," he said.

Consequently, Nana Yaw cautioned those Ghanaians betraying their brothers in the ongoing mass deportation to desist from doing so.
