Latvia Student Death: Foreign Affairs Ministry dismisses fee and fake ticket allegations“As I promised Ghanaians, the main reason for requesting this official visit is the distressing and unclear circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Nana Agyei Ahyia. The Latvian Foreign Minister has conveyed firm assurances that her government will fully cooperate with Ghana in the pursuit of truth and justice,” Ablakwa stated. Ablakwa also addressed public concerns over travel arrangements for Nana Agyei’s family, explaining that two relatives were unable to join the delegation initially due to visa delays caused by incomplete documentation. According to the Ministry, Nana Agyei’s mother was informed of the postponement and was denied travel at the airport due to incomplete documentation, not payment issues. Nana Agyei Ahyia’s death, first reported in June 2025, sparked widespread concern after Latvian authorities said he fell from his apartment in Riga.
