A heartbreaking video has surfaced of a Nigerian man, who has been abandoned on the streets of Mamobi, Accra, Ghana.
The man, who appears to be experiencing mental distress, claims he was left stranded by his Nigerian friends who allegedly took advantage of him.
According to the man, his friends promised to assist him in traveling to the United States from Ghana, but instead, they took his money and vanished.
The devastating betrayal has seemingly pushed him to the brink of mental collapse.
The video shows the man, disheveled and distraught, wandering the streets, sleeping anywhere he can find shelter, and relying on the kindness of strangers for survival.
His plight has sparked widespread concern and outrage, with many calling for assistance and support especially on social media.
“@NigeriaGov, we need your attention! Poor governance is driving your people to flee to developing nations like Ghana to escape hardship. This is embarrassing. Hundreds of Nigerians in Ghana are doing menial jobs just to survive.”
“We live together with him in Mamobi he is a Nigerian , his name is Gift.”
“Thought Ghana be Nigerians demma USA oh what happened?”
“You can’t even trust those closer to you anymore”
“I know him but didn’t know that’s the story Usually see him around”
“Fake news. I know him for almost two years at mamobi close to Accra girls school junction near konka mosque. FAKE”
This tragic incident highlights the vulnerabilities of migrants and the need for increased support and protection. It also serves as a reminder of the dangers of human exploitation and the importance of vigilance in combating such abuses.
