Akufo-Ado, who apologised to Nigeria on Tuesday during a telephone chat with President Muhammadu Buhari, also said he had ordered an investigation into the incident.
Gbajabiamila urges diplomatic measures
A businessman, reportedly accompanied by armed policemen, stormed the Nigerian High Commission last weekend with bulldozers and destroyed structures under construction within the premises.A statement by the President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said some suspects had been arrested in connection with the incident.
“Earlier in the day, it further emerged that some suspects had been arrested, and will be arraigned in court.” The Speaker, who spoke at a meeting with Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama, said Nigeria cannot continue to fold its hands while its citizens and assets in other countries are attacked by citizens of their host country.Gbajabiamila said the Accra attack and demolition constituted a direct attack on Nigeria as a sovereign nation, adding that the high commission or embassy of a country is an extension of its territory and sovereignty.
“So, let’s face it. If the American Embassy was demolished, do you think the United States would be asking for apologies and indemnity; or the United Kingdom , Canada or any other Western country? They won’t ask for an apology.
