Ghana has sent home 120 Nigerians who were arrested in a cybercrime crackdown.

Officials say the group was trafficked into Ghana and forced to work in cybercrime setups.

Communications Minister Sam George announced the repatriation in a post online,on Tuesday.

He thanked the Ghana Air Force and the Ministry of Defence for helping with the flight.

The operation, called Operation Cyberhunt, was led by Ghana's Cyber Security Authority.

It worked with intelligence and security agencies in Ghana, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States.

During the raid, officers seized 136 mobile phones, 130 laptops, internet devices and four vehicles.

One of the cars was reportedly stolen from Canada.

They also found jewellery and 10 Nigerian passports.

Eight other people are being prepared for prosecution.

George said Ghana, under President John Mahama, will not be a safe place for cybercriminals.
