Some of the attackers are also seen attempting to mount pieces of blocks and wooden objects ostensibly to prevent the Immigration vehicle from either leaving or having access to the scene.
Unconfirmed reports, however, suggest the Immigration officers are said to have gone to check on the residence permit of the Nigerians.

The Spokesperson of the Ghana Immigration Service, Superintendent Michael Amoako-Atta who confirmed the incident to Graphic said: “they (the officers) were going on a normal operation to check on foreign nationals who don’t have legal stay and they met these Nigerians who were trying to resist.”
