Some Ghanaians have protested against the presence of Nigerians in their country.
The Ghanaians who took to the streets on Tuesday to demand that Nigerians leave their country accused citizens of the West African country of engaging in mass prostitution and ritual killings.
A large number of Ghanaians were seen in a viral video wielding placards with various inscriptions such as “Armed robbery and violent attacks must stop; “Our health at stake due to mass prostitution; “Who protects the right and freedom of Ghanaians; “Nigerians are kidnapping and using people for rituals; “Our kids are getting missing because of Igbos,” among others.
They also displayed a picture of a man who was allegedly killed by a Nigerian in the Accra area of the country.
A protester who spoke in the video insisted that Nigerians must leave Ghana because of their anyhowness.
“Nigerians must go because you can’t be in someone’s country and be doing anyhow. Nigerians must go,” she yelled.
Another protester said Nigerians have taken over their major markets and are perpetrating evil of sorts in their country.
“These Igbo, they are in every part of the country and have targeted our markets. Not just Igbo, Nigerians are in almost every village, and our laws have not allowed foreigners to engage in real dealings. They are perpetrating evil in our country. They even have a Igbo king in Ghana. They have hijacked our lands. It is just a matter of time; we will conquer them and take over our country,” he stressed.
As of the time of filing this report, the Ghanaian government has yet to comment on the situation and the plight of their countrymen on returning Nigerians to their country, irrespective of their status.
