On June 23, 2020, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo phoned his Nigerian counterpart Muhammadu Buhari to express his sincere apology over the demolition of residential buildings at the Nigerian High Commission in Accra.
The incident, which occurred on the previous Friday, has sparked strong emotions in Nigeria, with the Nigerian government condemning the night attack as an 'act of aggression.'
President Buhari's Senior Special Assistant, Garba Shehu, stated that Ghana has pledged a full investigation into the matter.
Meanwhile, some suspects linked to the demolition have been arrested and will be arraigned in court.
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Yusuf Buba, described the demolition as an invasion of Nigeria's sovereignty and an external aggression on the Nigerian state.
