According to the Ghana Embassy, the number of illegal immigrants trooping their offices to leave the country via the pardon are unbelievable.
They have therefore strictly cautioned all Ghanaians especially young who are duped by ‘connection men’ and promised luxurious living to desist from making any intention to travel there.

The team of Ghanaians who are about 20 different teams would be leaving the country by the end of June.
