About a month after the closure of the shops, the association is worried about the situation it claimed had brought untoward hardships on NUTAG members. Hundreds of shops owned by Nigerians have been locked up in a move by GUTA to clamp down on foreigners engaged in retail business against Ghanaian laws. Local retailers in parts of Accra and Kumasi have in recent times locked up the foreign-owned shops, preventing foreigners from going about their business. According to the Association, President Akufo-Addo must intervene for a re-look at the laws GUTA takes advantage of to harass them.
