Ghana Promises to Restore Demolished Nigerian Diplomatic House to Original State via thisdaylive
The Government of Ghana has said that it will ensure that the demolished Nigerian High Commission building is restored to its original state as soon as possible.
Botchwey said that preliminary findings by the committee revealed that the High Commission of Nigeria presented a letter referenced SCR/LCS 74/VOL.2/95 dated 7th August, 2000, granting allocation and right of entry to the High Commission, for a four-acre parcel of land in the Accra Osu Mantse Layout.
Botchwey noted that findings of the committee further revealed that in June 2019, the Osu Stool requested the Greater Accra Regional Lands Commission to grant a lease in respect of a part of the said land to a third party. “Based on the silence of the High Commission of Nigeria, the Lands Commission went ahead and issued a Land Title Certificate covering the said parcel of land to a third party.
Botchwey stressed that Articles 22 and 30 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations stipulate that the premises of the Mission as well as the private residence of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable, adding that the incident of Friday, 19th June, 2020 constitutes a breach of the Convention.
