Ghana: Nigerian Traders Under Attack In Kumasi

Over twenty shops belonging to Nigerians have been allegedly locked at Suame Magazine in Kumasi, the Ashanti region of Ghana.

Naijaparry understands that the incident took place on Monday with reports from Ghana noting that the traders are targeted over allegations of kidnappings in Ghana carried out by Nigerians.

There have been four Nigerians arrested in the West African nation over the alleged abduction of four Canadians.

Reports said that the suspects abducted Bailey Jordan Chitty and Lauren Patricia Catherine Tilley who were volunteering in Ghana.

Reacting to the locking up of the shops, the chairman of the Nigerian Union of Traders Association, Kizito Obiora, said the attack began last week.

According to him, the attackers closed their shops and told them to return to Nigeria.

Although the police intervened, some men came back on Monday to forcefully close the shops.
