Some yet-to-be-identified armed men broke into the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana, on Friday, destroying some apartments under construction.

TheCable reports that the affected buildings were being constructed to house staff and visitors.

A Ghanaian businessman had accused the commission of encroaching on his land.

He was said to have visited the property penultimate week, presenting evidence that he was the real owner of the land.

However, he reportedly returned to the site on Friday in the company of armed men who supervised the demolition.

Officials of the commission reportedly contacted the police but efforts were not made to prevent the demolition.
