The Mission emphasized the importance of staying calm, law-abiding, and avoiding confrontations — including online exchanges on social media. Nationals are also encouraged to keep identification documents readily available and to rely only on credible sources of information, steering clear of unverified reports or rumors.

The High Commission assured the Ghanaian community that it remains committed to safeguarding their welfare and will continue to provide updates as necessary.
