Pastor Deported to Ghana Despite Legal Protections Highlights Flaws in Third-Country Removals

Samuel Nnamdi, a Nigerian pastor and UPS employee in Texas, was detained and deported to Ghana, a country he has no ties to, despite having legal protections against removal to Nigeria. His case illustrates the broader controversy surrounding the Trump administration's third-country deportation program, which has relocated over 25,000 people to nations with human rights concerns. While the government claims these destinations are safe, critics and legal experts point to instances of forced refoulement back to countries of origin, violating international law. The program, costing hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds, faces legal challenges and scrutiny over its due process and humanitarian impact.

Ghana Takes the Lead in the Global Slavery Reparations Debate

Ghana is at the forefront of the global reparations debate for the transatlantic slave trade, pushing UN recognition, debt relief, and accountability from Western powers and institutions such as the Church of England, while advocating reparatory funding for education, entrepreneurship and health research, and promoting diaspora outreach — though critics warn against commercialising healing and say local needs must not be sidelined.

Archbishop signals renewed £100m slavery reparations push during Ghana visit

On a visit to Cape Coast Castle, Archbishop Dame Sarah Mullally renewed the Church of England's commitment to a £100m reparations fund tied to its historic role in the transatlantic slave trade, noting that repentance must translate into action through investment, research and community engagement in affected areas. She described the castle’s dungeons and the “door of no return” as stark reminders of the past. The plan has faced opposition over historical accuracy, legal concerns and ideological objections, but Ghana’s foreign minister praised the move as a signal of accountability for the church’s legacy.

Ghana has repatriated over 900 of its citizens, and other African nations are likewise evacuating nationals. South Africa says it remains committed to cooperation and will work through diplomatic channels to agree a mutually convenient date for a future visit, amid ongoing disputes over deaths and residency documentation in the xenophobia row.
