Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has addressed public concerns following a viral video of Nigerian chief Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, who claimed to be the "King of Igbos" in Ghana and expressed plans to establish an 'Igbo village' in the country.
The video, which sparked backlash online, has since been clarified by the individual involved.
