A disturbing video has emerged of Nigerian residents in Ghana clashing in violent rival cult clashes in Accra.
In the viral video that has surfaced online, the Nigerian residents were captured in an all-out brawl with some police officers trying to settle the violence.
Many Ghanaians are calling for immediate investigations and arrests of the persons involved.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians have reacted to the viral video, saying, “They did the same shit in Dubai, which earned young Nigerians a visa ban. Now Ghana. It’s like some Nigerians have made up their mind to drag the name of the country through the mud wherever they find themselves.
They do all these, and when the people in the country speak against it and demand better behaviour, or they leave, then they claim to be persecuted and hated everywhere. Their own people and behaviours are the reason why they are not liked in the majority of the world.
Full-grown men, doing stupid things like these. For what reason? @GhPoliceService
@Gha_Immigration, please, the peace and security of our country and its people are at stake. Please act swiftly!!”
Another Ghanaian stated, “@kwakuasanteb will tell you to leave them alone when some of these things are the reason why people call for the regularisation of foreign groups/associations in Ghana.
If they could form a Kingdom in Ghana with ease, sekof pan-Africanism, the rest should be easy”.
“This is a serious national security concern. Our leaders should take swift action against these Nigerian cult groups. @GhPoliceService @Gha_Immigration and national security agencies should all act swiftly. The peace of our dear country, Ghana, must be respected and preserved”, a netizen added.
One more netizen wrote, “This ECOWAS free movement doesn’t warrant staying in another country undocumented; it’s for short stays and tourism. If, for business reasons, you need to stay, GIS must document such a person”.
Meanwhile, there has been a growing tension in Ghana as some groups of Ghanaians gathered at Accra’s Obra Spot some months ago to stage a protest demanding the immediate expulsion of Nigerians from the country.
They accused Nigerians of being behind a rise in crime and social vices.
The demonstrators carried placards with messages saying “Nigerians Must Go,” “End Kidnapping,” “End Prostitution,” “End Armed Robbery,” and “End Ritual Murders.”
Also, Ghanaian traders have claimed Nigerian traders are violating the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) Act 865 of 2013, which bars non-citizens from engaging in small-scale trading. Many Ghanaian traders argue that they are increasingly dominated by foreigners.
Additionally, Chief Albert Baylor Ashaolu, the president of the All Nigerian Community in Ghana, has urged Ghana and Nigeria to come together and find a lasting solution to the dispute.
Speaking on GTV’s Breakfast Show, he stated, “This matter has lingered for some time now, and it will not help the long-standing relationship between Nigeria and Ghana. Our governments, the higher leaders of the two countries, should look into this matter and find a lasting solution”.
“The same consideration given to foreigners from the West should not be applied to West Africans, especially Nigerians. You can walk from Nigeria into Ghana without borders stopping you. Our forefathers wanted integration, and they would be disappointed to see Africans treating each other this way”, he added.
He added, “Ghana and Nigeria cannot be compared with other countries. We are brothers through business, marriage, and history. We should be finding ways to strengthen this bond, not weaken it.”
