Ninety-nine Ghanaian deportees arrive from Libya

Accra, Oct. 26, GNA - Ninety-nine Ghanaians arrived at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on Sunday following their deportation from Libya for illegally entering that country.
The deportees were rounded-up in several locations in Libya, having entered the country by way of the Sahara Desert.
After going through immigration formalities, they underwent a screening exercise by officials of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) who provided funds for those who did not have money to transport them to their destinations. Fifty of them, however, found their own way home.
