Return to Nigeria if you have no business in Ghana, the Nigerian Union of Traders in the Ashanti Region of Ghana has advised its members.
Members of the Nigerian Union of Traders in the Ghana who do not have legitimate businesses in the country have been advised to return to Nigeria peacefully.
The Union’s statement comes in reaction to recent Nigerian involvement in high profile criminal activities like rape, robbery and the kidnapping of two Canadians in Kumasi.
Nigerian High Commissioner to Ghana Ambassador, Micheal Olufemi Abikoye who was responding to the issue earlier on Tuesday in a press statement said “xenophobic tendencies” had the potential to mar Ghana-Nigeria relationship.
So far, more than forty shops have been closed down in the Ashanti Region alone by members of the Ghana Union of Traders (GUTA)
Chief Kizito further revealed that the Nigerian community in Ghana will never condone the criminal acts some of its members are engaging themselves in and went further to advise them to either stop or leave the country.
“These people they don’t normally come to our meetings. But whenever we see them, we report them to the security agencies for the law to take its course”, he stressed.
