Academics called for the removal of the statue after it was unveiled in 2016
A STATUE of Mahatma Gandhi has been removed from a university campus in Ghana.
The statue was unveiled by India’s former President Prana Mukherjee in 2016 to celebrate the strong ties between the two countries.
This followed with an online petition launched by academics, which argued that the Indian social activist had a “racist identity” and has no place on campus grounds.
According to AFP news agency, students and lecturers told them it had been removed from the Legon campus of the University of Ghana in Accra on Tuesday.
