Video shows Ghanaians destroying stalls allegedly selling illicit capsules, no longer stores belonging to Nigerians in Ghana
IN SHORT: A video on social media shows residents of a town in Ghana destroying stalls allegedly selling capsules illegally, in April 2025. It does no longer repeat most modern assaults on Igbo of us’s stores in the nation.
A video is circulating on Facebook in Nigeria with users claiming that it shows Igbo of us’s stores being destroyed in Ghana.
One post, dated 15 July 2025, reads: “Happening In Ghana, GHANAIANS Destroying Igbo People’s Shops, Asking Them To Leave Their Country.”
The Igbo are one in every of the greatest ethnic groups in Nigeria, essentially living in the southeastern section of the nation. They’re most regularly view to be enterprising.
On 29 July, protests broke out in components of Ghana below the “Nigerians must go” banner. Ghanaians who took section in the demonstrations reportedly accused Nigerians of “rising crime” including ritual killings.
The identical claim and video had been chanced on right here, right here, right here and right here.
But what precisely does the video repeat? We checked.

If Ghanaians had attacked stores owned by Igbo of us in Ghana, it would’ve made headlines. But we would possibly maybe maybe perhaps no longer find any file from credible information stores on this.
Africa Examine broke the video into frames and ran them thru a reverse picture search. This led us to a video first posted on Facebook in April, with the caption: “Cracking down on illicit substances: Zango markets see demolition of drug infested shops.”
Using key phrases from the caption, we chanced on just a few media reports about residents of Sabon Zango, below the “Zango Against Drugs” campaign, cracking down on stores claimed to be selling capsules.
Sabon Zango is a town in the Better Accra role of Ghana.
The video shows Ghanaians destroying stalls allegedly selling illicit substances, no longer specifically Igbo of us’s stores in Ghana.
