A crisis has erupted in Sowutoum area of
Ghana between Nigerians and Ghana
indigenes after a Nigeria man was accused
of killing a Ghanaian during a fight.
NAIJ learnt that the crisis started after
Ghana police reportedly arrested a Nigerian
man, 48-year-old Thompson Peter, who
insisted he killed the Ghanaian man in self
defence during the fight.
Punch reported that the Ghanaian man's
death has reportedly led to reprisal attacks
against Nigerians living in Ghana, with five
persons killed.
A video has emerged of Ghanaians chasing
away police officers who were called to
settle the crisis.
A Facebook user, Ifeanyi Chukwuemeka,
wrote that the crisis started after Thompson
allegedly stabbed Ghanaian 27-year-old
Misbau Amadu in the head with a knife after
a confrontation at his residence at about
10:00pm on Thursday.
He wrote: “The victim was rushed to the
Mary Lucy Hospital but was pronounced
dead on arrival by the doctors.
“Inspector Kwabena Danso, Deputy Accra
Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO)
, said a week ago, Thompson Peter lodged a
complaint at the Sowutoum Police Station
that Misbau Amadu had broken into his
apartment and stolen some items.
“After taking the statement of Thompson,
the PRO said the police proceeded to the
residence of Misbau Amadu with the intent
of inviting him to the station to help
investigate the claim but he was not
available.
“Thompson said at about 9:00 pm last
Thursday, Misbau came to his (Thomson’s)
house, armed with a knife to attack him for
reporting the case to the police. In the
course of the fight, Thompson said he
overpowered Misbau and stabbed him in
self-defence.
“The matter is still under investigations,
Inspector Kwabena Danso posited.
Meanwhile, crisis has allegedly broken out in
the area, with many Nigerians being
attacked."
