Women with children in UK face deportation to Nigeria and Ghana

Human rights campaigners raise range of safety concerns over planned removal of people on Home Office charter flight this week

Mothers and grandmothers, some of whom have lived in the UK for decades, are among those facing deportation to Nigeria and Ghana on a controversial Home Office charter flight on Wednesday.

Women the Guardian has spoken to estimate that at least 10 of them are facing removal. It is unusual to see such a large number of women on a deportation flight to the west African countries.
