Nigerian condemns attacks on embassy in Ghana

Yusuf Bello| Nigeria on Sunday strongly condemned what it terms ‘attacks’ on a residential building within its diplomatic premises in Ghana.

Mr Geoffrey Onyeama, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, expressed Nigeria’s displeasure in a series of tweets via his vrified Twitter handle @GeoffreyOnyeama.

Oyeama while condemning the attack, urged the Ghanaian government to take precise actions against the perpetrators of the attacks.

Nigeria’s reaction is coming on the heels of Friday’s bulldozing of the country’s diplomatic premises by a businessman who claims he owned the piece of land where the Nigerian High Commission’s staff quarters was erected.

It took a timely intervention by the Ghanaian police to stop more buildings from being destroyed.

Onyeama tweeted, “We strongly condemn two outrageous criminal attacks in Accra, #Ghana, on a residential building in our diplomatic premises by unknown persons in which a bulldozer was used to demolish the building.

“We are engaging the Ghanaian Government and demand urgent action to find the perpetrators and provide adequate protection for Nigerians and their property in Ghana. #StayHomeSaveLives #COVID19 @NigeriaGov @DigiCommsNG @GhanaMFA”.
