The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has revealed that it is coordinating the evacuation of 431 Ghanaians who are stuck in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates with UAE authorities.
According to a news release from the ministry, agents who offered the stranded Ghanaians jobs in Dubai and the UAE deceived them.

The ministry advised potential visitors to the Gulf region to exercise vigilance and be aware of the shady dealings of dishonest agents.
The whole statement is as follows:
