Speaking to One Love Ghana TV, Mr. Collins said the riot was a reaction to a kidnapping case involving a daughter of one of their colleagues.
Apparently, a daughter of a Ghanaian shop owner called Brobbey was kidnapped by a gang believed to be Nigerians.
The girl after a week in the hands of the kidnappers managed to escape when her fellow victims, teamed up to escape via the roof of the room they were housed.
After the girl returned and narrated the story, the Ghana half of the market got aroused and started chanting war songs.
