The Ghanaian government through its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli has mounted a search for a group of Ghanaian refugees who went out of their way to beat the protocol officer of the embassy Mr Ekow Derrick in Libya.

The ring leader of the group is said to be one Iddrisu Adam, a Ghanaian who sojourned to Libya in search of greener pastures.

According to sources close to the Ghanaian embassy in Libya, this group of Ghanaians numbering over a hundred were said to have contributed money and gave to Ekow Derrick to assist them catch a flight back to Ghana.

This was during the heat of the Libyan civil war which eventually toppled colonel Muamar Gaddafi as the Libyan leader.

Due to the high level of insecurity this group of Ghanaians became very desperate to return home.

However, the assistance being sought by this group of Ghanaians was not forthcoming coupled with monies allegedly collected from them by the Ghana embassy officials.

This obviously infuriated them and so they invaded the premises of the embassy and succeeded in attacking the protocol officer of the embassy, beating him to pulp.

It took the efforts of some embassy security officials to rescue Ekow Derrick from the wrath of these angry Ghanaians.

According to our sources all attempts to apprehend these group of people have proved futile as all of them are faeredto hhave fled.

The Ghanaian government has therefore mounted a search for them. It has been rumored that some of them have returned to Ghana and are hiding knowing very well that they are being sought after for possible prosecution.
