There was a diplomatic uproar the other day over the demolition of residential facilities under construction at the Nigerian High Commission premises in Ghana and a situation potentially dangerous to the cordial relationship between Ghana and Nigeria arose. It sounded quite unusual because Nigeria and Ghana have long been the best of friends in the West African sub-region. The demolished building that was still under construction was meant to house staff and visiting diplomats to the High Commission upon completion. Without ambiguity, the violation of diplomatic premises is a serious infraction in international relations. This is definitive enough and would nourish the age-long diplomatic relations between Ghana and Nigeria.
