The Nigerian government has facilitated the release of thirty-nine Nigerians detained for illegally entering Ghana.
The Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, disclosed this on its official Twitter page.
The Nigerian citizens were arrested at Aflao border as they attempted to enter the country illegally.
The statement read in part: “The Nigerian consular team was dispatched by the High Commission to intervene immediately.
“On getting there we met with about 30 more Nigerians who were arrested for also trying to enter Ghana through illegal routes due to the border closure.”
The consular team, however, appealed to the immigration officials not to prosecute the culprits but allow the easy evacuation of stranded Nigerians.
