90 Ghanaians who were deported from Dubai have arrived in Ghana.

Between May 19 and 20, 2023, around 90 Ghanaians who were residing unlawfully in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) entered the nation. Before being turned over to the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) for further action, the deportees arrived in two groups on Emirates and Ethiopian Airlines and proceeded through the requisite procedures of the Ghana Immigration Service at the Kotoka International Airport. According to MyNewsGh.com, the majority of them entered Dubai illegally through phony employment agencies, and others had overstayed their visas. Over 431 of these people are believed to be living in Dubai at the moment, with some of them reportedly being detained. Agents transported them there after promising them lucrative positions, but when they arrived, they discovered a completely different situation.

This portal was informed by sources at the Ghana Immigration Service that more deportees are anticipated in the upcoming days because the number who have already entered the nation is only a small portion of those anticipated. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration (MFARI) said in late 2017 that there were plans to remove 431 Ghanaians who were detained in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). They were enticed there by some recruiters who promised them work in Dubai and other places in the UAE. They consisted of 341 males, 88 females, and two children under the age of three. 

They have been detained at Al Tawadi Medical Centre and the Immigration Centre in Dubai, alongside an unspecified number of African migrants who have suffered the same fate.

A statement issued by the MFARI said the government was collaborating with the authorities of the UAE to bring the stranded nationals back home safely.
