Six West Africans deported from US sent to Togo despite legal fight
Six West Africans deported from the US have been sent to Togo, despite legal efforts to prevent their deportation. The group included nationals from Nigeria, Togo, Liberia, and The Gambia, with their lawyers raising concerns over their safety. This move comes as part of the US government's crackdown on immigration, with an agreement between the US and Ghana facilitating the deportations. The Ghanaian government has faced criticism and calls for transparency regarding the agreement, which was not accompanied by financial compensation.
