The British government has deported 44 Nigerians and Ghanaians to their home countries in a single flight, The Guardian reported.
According to the report, the Nigerian and Ghanaian citizens were flown to their countries on Friday, 18 October.
Deportation flights to Nigeria and Ghana are relatively rare, the report said. Citing data obtained under the freedom of information rules, the newspaper reported that there have been only four such deportation flights since 2020. Each of such flights involved six, seven, 16 and 21 deportees respectively, until Friday’s flight, which had more than double the highest that had been removed on a single flight.
