Ghana deports 42 Nigerians for prostitution, others
No fewer than 42 Nigerians have been deported from Ghana’s Ashanti Region following rulings by various courts over alleged prostitution, fraud, and other related offences.
The development was disclosed in a Facebook post on Thursday, December 18, 2025, by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Frank Amoakohene.
According to him, other foreign nationals deported include 13 Cameroonian nationals, three Ivorian nationals, three Burkinabe nationals, and seven Benin nationals.
In total, 68 African nationals were affected by the court decisions.
Amoakohene wrote, “A total of 42 Nigerians, 13 Cameroonians, 3 Ivorians, 3 Burkinabe nationals, and 7 Benin nationals have been deported from the Ashanti Region to their respective countries following various court rulings involving Q-Net, prostitution, and other criminal activities.
“I commend the Ghana Immigration Service for its professionalism, diligence, and firm commitment to enforcing our immigration laws, while upholding due process and human dignity.
“Their collaboration with the courts and other security agencies continues to strengthen public safety, protect vulnerable persons, and preserve law and order in the region.”
The deportation of the Nigerians comes amid growing reports of increased scrutiny and mass arrests of Nigerians abroad.
In late November, no fewer than 50 Nigerians were arrested during one of India’s largest coordinated crackdowns on a transnational narcotics network.
The suspects were believed to be linked to a sprawling drug distribution and hawala money-laundering syndicate operating across several major Indian cities.
According to a report by Indian news agency NDTV on Thursday, the operation was led by the Delhi Police in collaboration with the Telangana Police’s EAGLE unit.
The report noted that months of intelligence gathering culminated in days of simultaneous raids across Delhi, enabling officers to dismantle key layers of a cartel involved in trafficking methamphetamine and cocaine across India.
