Ambassador Robert Jackson, speaking in the Brong Ahafo region earlier today (Thursday), said that over 7,000 Ghanaians are in different stages of the deportation process.

“In fact about 7,000 of them are currently at different stages of the deportation process. And we are not apologetic about that,” he said.
