A team of Ghanian Policemen have forcefully shut a large shop
belonging to a Nigerian businessman, in Accra, capital of
Ghana.
The policemen, in a video obtained by PRNigeria[1], were observed, first
threatening to close down the shop of the Nigerian, over the
non-payment of $1 million, as tax to the Ghanian Government.
However, the Nigerian business merchant, while fiercely
challenging the security men’s action, claimed that he has paid
both his company tax, and all other necessary fees, even before
registering his business.
The Nigerian businessman, who was obviously furious, challenged
the policemen to provide evidence of non-payment of tax, by
him.
He lambasted the Ghanian security personnel for treating
Nigerians in their country so harshly, and cruelly.
While videoing the incident himself, the Nigerian trader,
further picketed the Policemen for treating their fellow Africans
so unfairly.
He yelled: “I have been doing business in Ghana since 2007, and
I have not defaulted in paying my tax. I have the necessary papers
to back up my claim. You guys are only closing our shops because of
the $1 million you ask us to pay. Where do you want us to get the
$1 million”.
The security personnel were thereafter seeing closing the
Nigerian businessman’s shop with padlock.
