On June 19, 2020, a bulldozer invaded the Diplomatic Premises of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Accra, Ghana, and demolished buildings, sparking outrage from the Nigerian government.
Nigeria's House of Representatives condemned the demolition, describing it as an 'act of aggression' and an invasion of Nigeria's sovereignty.
Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama and Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila also condemned the demolitions.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo has apologized to Nigeria over the incident, calling Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday night to express his regret.
Some suspects linked to the demolition have been arrested and will be arraigned in court.
According to a statement by Mr Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari, Ghana promised a thorough investigation into the matter.
