Ghanaian Mother Demands Justice for Son Allegedly Murdered in Latvia
Mary, a Ghanaian mother, is seeking justice for her 18-year-old son, Nana Agyei, who tragically died in Latvia under suspicious circumstances.
Mary previously lived in Dubai with her children and husband, who moved there when Nana Agyei was just 16. Although they used to visit Dubai occasionally, the family permanently relocated there in 2019. Nana began his early education at Queensland School in Ghana and moved to Dubai after completing Junior Secondary School (JSS) Two. He continued his education at Adblock School in Dubai, where he graduated from high school.
Following his graduation, Nana received university admission offers from the UK, USA, and Canada. However, due to financial constraints and his desire for a scholarship, he chose to study in Latvia, where he enrolled in an Electrical Engineering program in 2023.
On May 31st, Nana sent an audio message to his mother, sharing that he had met a friend who introduced him to a modeling agency that was interested in signing him. He also mentioned meeting a teenage girl and boy who planned to visit him. Later that evening, while his roommate was present, he was allegedly drugged, and the police were called when he collapsed. He was treated and discharged the same night.
The following day, he received a doctor’s report confirming he had been drugged. He was scheduled to write his final paper soon. Mary spoke to her son again after he had gone to church, and everything seemed normal. However, on the Monday after that call, she started feeling uneasy and called the Ghana Embassy to check on her son, only to learn that he had not shown up for his exam and wasn’t answering his phone.
Tragically, on Tuesday or Wednesday, the family received news that Nana had allegedly jumped from the sixth floor of his hostel building in what was reported as a suicide. The family held a one-week observance in Dubai and later traveled to Latvia.
Contrary to the initial claim of suicide, the family believes Nana was murdered. At the morgue, they discovered signs suggesting he had been strangled, with cuts on his body and blood oozing from his nose. The police later claimed it was an accident, despite an earlier audio message from Nana that raised suspicions.
Mary is demanding justice and has called on the Ghanaian government to intervene. She believes her son’s death was racially motivated and that the Latvian police are covering up the truth. Although the school where Nana studied has surveillance cameras, the police reportedly refused to review the footage.
Nana was the only Ghanaian student in the school. Mary insists that the full autopsy report be released and that the truth about her son’s death be revealed. The Ghana Embassy has been supportive, and Nana’s body is expected to be returned to Ghana on Monday. The family continues to appeal to the government and the public for support in uncovering the truth behind Nana Agyei’s tragic death.
