The shops belonging to Nigerians had been kept under lock and key since December 2919 as a result of a disagreement between traders in the markets.

President of the National Association of Nigerian Traders in Ghana, Dr Ken Ukaoha, made the disclosure on Tuesday in Abuja, during a solidarity visit to the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa.
