Ghana has taken firm diplomatic action after three of its citizens were deported from Israel under what officials described as unfair and unacceptable conditions.
The Ghanaians — including members of a parliamentary delegation travelling for a cybersecurity conference — were detained upon arrival on 7 December, and three were later sent back without clear justification.
In a reciprocal move, the Ghanaian government ordered the removal of three Israelis who had recently entered the country, signalling that it will not tolerate disrespect toward its nationals abroad.
Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister confirmed that Israel’s chargé d’affaires in Accra was summoned for discussions, stressing that while Ghana values its relationship with Israel, mutual respect for travellers is non-negotiable.
Both countries are now working diplomatically to calm rising tensions and restore normal relations.

Terrorists Demand ₦30m Ransom for Three Brothers Kidnapped After Mother’s Burial in Kwara
Three relatives returning from their mother’s burial in Agboro, Kwara State, have been abducted by terrorists who are now demanding ₦10 million each, totalling ₦30 million. The victims — Isanlu Bidemi (33), Olumide (30), and their 17-year-old cousin Moses — were kidnapped on December 7 along the Odo-Ogbe axis in Yagba East. A fourth traveler was also seized. The grieving family’s attempt to negotiate with ₦3 million was rejected as the abductors intensified threats and beatings. The incident adds to growing insecurity in the Yagba area, where kidnappings and daylight ambushes have surged, prompting renewed calls for urgent government intervention.
