Unfortunately, they don\u2019t get the actual thing they bargained for in Ghana.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cFurther investigation also showed that most of them left the country through illegal routes or through the sea to other West African countries.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe also discovered that most of them travelled without genuine travel documents. So ,when they got to Ghana they became prey to the authorities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe comptroller-general of NIS, Idris Jere, has always advised Nigerians to get genuine travellers\u2019 documents before leaving the country.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes, we are part of the ECOWAS treaty of free movement and goods within the sub-region. The condition is that you must enter those countries through a legitimate route and with the right travel documents.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt is also important to have definite means of livelihood. If not, by the time you get there, they will see you as a public charge and they will return you to your country.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Emeka also urged Nigerians to live and do their businesses legally.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He said the government of Ghana had contacted the Seme command of NIS that more Nigerians would be deported.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>He, however, added that the deportees would be allowed to reunite with their families upon the conclusion of investigation by the NIS.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"m_-6648233271826855034ymail_android_signature\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) says 16 Nigerians have been deported from Ghana for their alleged involvement in cybercrime.
