Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian traders in Ghana had been mandated by the Ministry of Trades to pay $1m (N385,110,000) fee before they continue with their businesses. A video had emerged in which a Nigerian trader lamented as his shop was being locked by Ghanaian security officials. The man said he showed the security officials his business registration certificate and other documents but they still locked his shop. He said Nigerians in Ghana are suffering, adding that he would not hesitate to sell his goods and return to his country if that is what the Ghanaian authorities want.
