The Government of Canada has updated its Travel Advisory for Ghana advising it’s Citizens in Accra to avoid some 6 places including Ashaiman and Nima.
Updated on 9th January, the new travel advice said visitors to Ghana must exercise high caution as “Crime has steadily increased in the recent years in Ghana, especially in large cities such as Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and their surroundings.”
In Accra, the Canadian government noted that “several violent incidents have occurred in the following Greater Accra neighbourhoods:
- Agbogbloshie
- Ashaiman
- Avenor
- Nima
- Sowutuom
- Sukura
They therefore advised their citizens to “avoid going into these neighbourhoods at night”.
Armed robberies of vehicles at night also occur and armed attacks have been reported along the Accra–Tema and Accra–Kumasi–Tamale highways.
