The United Kingdom has deported a record number of Nigerians and Ghanaians to their home countries.
According to the UK Guardian, 44 West African nationals were put on a flight last Friday.
In the report, the UK Home Office stated that the deportations of Nigerians and Ghanaians were part of a “major surge” in immigration enforcement and returns.
It noted that there have not been deportations to the two countries in such numbers in recent times, with only four recorded since 2020.
