Ghanaian authorities confront Nigerian for refusing to close down business

A Nigerian man who has been in Ghana since 2007 faces a heartbreaking dilemma after being slammed with a notice to shut down his business.

The heart-wrenching video captures the moment the market’s chairman confronted the Nigerian man, accusing him of refusing to comply.

The unidentified businessman argued that he wouldn’t comply with a law, charging him to close down his business despite having certified documents to operate legally without skeletons in his cupboard.

Despite his claims of operating in the market since 2007 and having a close relationship with the market chairman, he was blatantly denied an exception.

Speaking to the press, the Ghanaian market chairman accused Nigerians of breaching the law that prohibits foreigners from retailing products while also being the wholesaler.

“A lot of Nigerians have closed their shop; you’re not different from them. We called the Nigerians to meet with them concerning issues in the markets. We’re going to prosecute any Ghanaian fronting for a Nigerian. The problem is that they are invading the market by wholesaling at the same time, doing retailing in the market, we can’t compete. The GIPC law states that all foreigners should do supply/wholesaling, not retailing,” the market chairman emphasised.
