The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has apologised to President Muhammadu Buhari for the demolition of a building on the premises of the Nigeria High Commission in Accra, ThePunch is reporting.
Akufo-Ado in a phone call informed Buhari that he had directed a full investigation of the unfortunate incident. He hinted that some suspects had been arrested and will be arraigned in court.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Ferdinand Nwonye, disclosed this in a statement. It read, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform that the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo called President Muhammadu Buhari, on June 23, on the phone, to express his sincere regrets and apology for the demolition of a building on the premises of the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana. He informed President Buhari that he had directed a full investigation of the unfortunate incident.”
The ministry called on Nigerians to remain calm despite the highly provocative attack on the High Commission of Nigeria in Accra, Ghana, and to reassure Nigerians that the Federal Government is engaging the Ghanaian Authorities at the highest level.
Recall that a Ghanaian businessman led the team which demolished the building which was under construction last Friday. The structure which was meant for the accommodation of the mission staff and visiting diplomats to the High Commission was partially demolished by the businessman who claimed that the mission encroached on his land.
The gunmen who accompanied him reportedly threatened to shoot the staff of the embassy if they interfered.
