Tensions have escalated in Ghana as citizens took to the streets in major cities, demanding that all Nigerians leave the country. Protesters, chanting slogans such as “Go back and fix your country”, voiced their frustration over what they described as perceived economic and social challenges attributed to foreign nationals.
The demonstrations, which began earlier this week, drew thousands of participants who marched through central Accra and other key towns, holding placards and calling on government authorities to take decisive action. Social media videos captured scenes of protesters blocking major roads and engaging in vocal demonstrations near commercial hubs.
Authorities in Ghana have called for calm and urged both citizens and foreign nationals to avoid confrontations. Security operatives have been deployed to maintain peace and prevent any escalation of violence. Nigerian citizens residing in Ghana were advised to exercise caution and comply with local regulations.
The protests come amid growing concerns over immigration, employment competition, and the economic strain on local resources, sparking renewed debates on bilateral relations between Nigeria and Ghana. Observers note that while the demonstrations reflect widespread public sentiment, both governments are expected to engage diplomatically to resolve tensions and ensure the safety of citizens.
