At least 11 of the 14 immigrants deported by the U.S. to Ghana are still being held in the West African nation, the deportees and their lawyers told The Associated Press on Wednesday, contradicting claims from Ghanaian authorities that the deportees have been sent to their home countries.
Three of the deportees spoke to AP of the "terrible" conditions under which they are being held at a military camp, the Bundase camp, on the outskirts of Ghana's capital, Accra. They said the 11 deportees still in Ghana include four Nigerians, three Togolese, two Malians and one each from Gambia and Liberia.
