November 17, (THEWILL) – The Ghanaian Government has disowned a security advisory allegedly issued to its citizens to avoid travels to Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The rebuttal followed a security advisory purportedly issued on Wednesday, by the Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
Citing security threats, the advisory had warned Ghanaians in Nigeria to avoid non-essential trips to Abuja.
But in a swift rebuttal, the Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, in a statement on Thursday, disowned the security advisory, adding that it is not aware of any threat targeted at Ghanaians in Nigeria.
The statement read: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration wishes to refer to the travel advisory published this evening, Wednesday 16th November 2022, advising against non-essential travel to Abuja, and wishes to state that the statement was unauthorized.
“The Ministry is not aware of any threat targeted at Ghanaians, who continue to live in harmony with their Nigerian brothers and sisters.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration regrets any inconvenience this may have caused to the travelling public.”
