Students of the University of Ghana, Legon, have staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the Nigerian  High Commission in Accra to protest against the shooting of Ghanaian immigrants by Nigerian border officials at the Idiroko border. In a protest note to the High Commissioner, the students, among other things, called Government to continue negotiations with the Governments of Nigeria, Benin and the Ghana Togo to enable the immigrants still in Nigeria to return home safely. Ghana should also ask for adequate compensation from the Nigerian government for the relatives of those who were killed. The note called on the government to demand an unconditional apology from the Nigerians for the killings and all other atrocities committed against Ghanaians in that country.

The students appealed to the ECOWAS and OAU secretariats to intervene on half of the immigrants to ensure proper treatment. The High Commissioner promised to send the note to his Government.
