Why Ghanaians protest against Nigerians

Nigeria-Ghana Relations Tested Amid Protests Calling for Deportation of Nigerians Accra, Ghana – Diplomatic tensions flared between Nigeria and Ghana in late July after Ghanaians staged protests demanding the expulsion of Nigerians over alleged criminal activities. Demonstrators in Accra accused Nigerian immigrants of fueling kidnappings, ritual killings, and social vices, with placards reading: "Who protects the rights of Ghanaians?" "Nigerians are kidnapping people for rituals!" "Our children are going missing!"
