The Head of Security at the Nigerian High Commission, Emmanuel Kabutey, said the leader of the demolition team who demolished a building belonging to the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, the capital
of Ghana, on Friday threatened to attack them.
The structure which was under construction was meant for the accommodation of the mission staff and visiting diplomats to the High Commission. The acting High Commissioner, Michael Abikoye, who was initially present during the demolition was said to have later gone into hiding. While condemning the demolition on Sunday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said the FG had reached out to the Ghanaian authorities on the incident.
“The government will not relent on its primary obligation to guarantee the safety of members of the diplomatic corps in Ghana,” the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
