The Ghanaians says they’re Muslims who’s face persecution if they go home.

The Accra authorities counter that there’s no religious violence in Ghana

Ends intro,

Brazilian police says the group seeking political asylum are part of a Ghana government-sponsored delegation, mainly comprising supporters of the governing party.

Ghana’s deputy information minister Felix Kwakye Ofusu says the basis for the asylum request is completely false.

Ghana’s Africa’s most democratic country. It has political freedom, prosperity and no religious conflict.

Ghana’s diplomatic mission in Brazil has been instructed to liaise with the authorities to investigate the matter.

The Brazilian authorities believe many of the Ghanaians are looking for the right to work legally in that country.
