Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK, Papa Owusu Ankomah, has assured that the Ghanaian community in the UK remains mostly unaffected by the recent wave of protests following an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign.
The protests, which erupted after a stabbing attack in Southport, northern England, that left three children dead, have led to around 100 people being charged for violent unrest.
Speaking on Accra-based Joy FM, Mr. Ankomah emphasized that there have been no significant incidents involving Ghanaians, aside from a single report of a Ghanaian being threatened on a bus.
The High Commissioner noted that efforts are ongoing to ensure the safety of the Ghanaian community, including regular communication with community leaders and advising Ghanaians to stay indoors by 7 pm to avoid potential risks.
