A Nigerian man, who was deported from the United States to Ghana, has spoken out about his experience of being “dumped” at the border between Ghana and Togo by US authorities. The incident took place on Tuesday, August 25th, 2021, when the man, identified as David, was deported from the US after overstaying his visa.
David claims that upon his arrival in Ghana, he was forced into a vehicle by Ghanaian immigration officials and driven to the border with Togo. He alleges that he was then dropped off at the border with no assistance or guidance on how to proceed. David expressed his frustration and stated that he had no connections or contacts in either Ghana or Togo, leaving him stranded and uncertain about his next steps.
On the other hand, US immigration authorities have not commented on the specifics of David’s case, citing privacy regulations. However, they have stated that deportations are carried out in accordance with immigration laws and established procedures.
The Ghanaian government has also not released an official statement regarding the incident. It remains unclear why David was deported to Ghana instead of Nigeria, his country of origin, or why he was allegedly left at the border with Togo.
The case highlights the challenges faced by individuals caught in immigration processes, especially when deported to countries where they have no support network. David’s account raises questions about the treatment of deportees and the responsibilities of countries involved in deportation processes.
Source Analysis:
