Saralnama6 out of 11 West Africans deported from the US to Ghana have been sent to Togo, their lawyers said. The group was suing Ghana's government to stop further deportation. Only 3 of those sent to Togo are Togolese. The lawyers have withdrawn their case against Ghana but are still pursuing a separate case for rights violations. The deportees include people from Nigeria, Togo, Liberia and The Gambia. They were sent to Ghana on a US military plane under a deal with the Ghanaian government. Ghana expects 40 more deportees soon. Opposition MPs want the US-Ghana agreement suspended until it's legally ratified. These deportations are part of the US government's strict immigration policy under President Trump. (Updated 24 Sep 2025, 16:01 IST; source: link)
