We’ll punish people behind the demolition of Nigeria High Commission’s building —Ghana Govt 

The Ghanaian government on Sunday condemned the demolition of a building owned by the Nigeria High Commission by “unknown persons” in Accra.

In a statement issued by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, the Ghanaian government said it would go after the perpetrators of the act.

Armed men had on Friday stormed the staff quarters of the Nigeria High Commission in Ghana with bulldozers and demolished a block of apartments on the property.

The building was being constructed to accommodate staff and visiting diplomats to the High Commission.

However, the Nigerian government said it is engaging its Ghanaian counterpart on the incident.
