An irate mob in Ghana has allegedly killed five Nigerians in a fresh xenophobic attack on citizens of Africa’s most powerful nation.
It is understood that the mob action was in reprisal to an incident where a Nigerian man was said to have stabbed a Ghanaian man to death, claiming the purported victim was a thief.
The Punch reports that the 48-year-old Thompson Peter was reported to have said he committed the act in self defence.
Although the Police in Sowutoum area of Ghana have arrested Peter, the incident has reportedly led to xenophobic attacks against Nigerians living in Ghana, with five persons killed in reprisal so far.
It was gathered that policemen who visited the alleged crime scene were also attacked and chased away by the protesting Ghanaians.
As posted on Facebook by one Ifeanyi Chukwuemeka who claimed to have studied at Delta State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, the Nigerian Ghana resident, Peter, 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, the online medium said.
