Demolition of Nigerian High Commission building in Accra vanguardnews
To beat back Nigerian traders in Ghana, the Ghana Union of Trade Associations, GUTA, had pressured the government to make a law mandating any foreigner wishing to engage in trade in Ghana to show proof of having a deposit of US$300,000 in his or her company account or goods equivalent to that amount in stock.
The demolition, last weekend, of a residential building in the Nigerian High Commission in Accra was not only a slap on the face of Nigeria but also a gross violation of Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. It regards a foreign mission’s property in any country as inviolable and must not be entered by anyone without permission. Nigeria and Ghana, in their official reactions, have affirmed this much.
We find the Ghana government’s description of the private aggressors as “unknown and unidentified persons” absurd and unacceptable. The Minority Parliament of Ghana has affirmed that the demolition was “carried out under the full protection of state security”. The government of Ghana must bear full responsibility for this ugly incident.
