Nigeria Must Go” Protests Continue in Ghana Amidst Reports of Arrests

Accra, Ghana – Protests under the banner of “Nigeria Must Go” have continued in Ghana, with reports indicating ongoing demonstrations in various parts of the country.

These protests appear to be driven by a range of grievances from some Ghanaian citizens regarding the presence and activities of Nigerians in Ghana.

While the exact scale and intensity of the current demonstrations on July 28, 2025, remain fluid, recent reports from late July have indicated public gatherings, including one at the Nigerian High Commission in Accra. Some reports have also mentioned arrests of Nigerian nationals in Ghana in connection with these developments.

The “Nigeria Must Go” sentiment has historical roots, harking back to past expulsions of migrants between the two West African nations. Tensions have periodically flared over issues such as trade disputes, alleged criminal activities, and perceived economic impacts.

Ghanaian authorities have yet to issue a comprehensive statement on the latest phase of these protests, but the situation continues to be monitored closely for any further developments and potential diplomatic implications between Ghana and Nigeria.
