Over the past week, these protests have become increasingly volatile, with some demonstrators resorting to violent actions, including setting ablaze hotel buildings where asylum seekers are being housed.

Fortunately, Mr Ankomah said so far no Ghanaian has been attacked, and his office is assessing the situation and will issue travel advice if Ghanaians are found to be in danger.

The High Commissioner advised Ghanaians in the UK to stay clear of protest areas.

“Even as at this [Wednesday] morning, our officers are calling the leadership of Ghanaian community asking for an update and urging them to encourage Ghanaians in the UK to try and be indoors by latest 7pm. And also to avoid areas where these protests are envisioned to be held latest today,” he said.

Protests first broke out late last month after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage following a stabbing attack which left three children dead in Southport, northern England.

The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said on Tuesday that prosecutors have already charged around 100 people over the violent unrest.

This is after protests broke out late last month, after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage following a stabbing attack that left three children dead in Southport, northern England.

The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service said on Tuesday that prosecutors have already charged around 100 people over the violent unrest.

The gatherings ostensibly started as anti-immigration marches and quickly turned disorderly and violent.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Mr Ankomah provided reassurances that no significant harm has come to Ghanaians amidst the unrest.

“Except for one incident where a Ghanaian reported being threatened while taking a bus, there have been no reports of any untoward incidents affecting Ghanaians in the UK,” the High Commissioner stated.

Meanwhile, the High Commissioner says efforts are being made to ensure the continued safety of the Ghanaian community.

“Even as of this morning, our officers are calling around the country, speaking with the leadership of the Ghanaian communities, asking for updates and urging them to encourage Ghanaians in the UK to try and be indoors by 7 pm,” he added.

Mr Ankomah noted that Ghanaians have been urged to stay indoors at night and avoid areas where protests are expected to occur.
