Latvia has agreed to receive a Ghanaian delegation led by Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on January 20, 2026, to discuss the ongoing investigation into the suspicious death of Ghanaian student Nana Agyei Ahyia in Riga.
Minister Ablakwa confirmed that representatives of Nana Agyei’s family will join the delegation to ensure transparency and direct involvement. In a Facebook post, he emphasized the government’s commitment to providing regular updates and safeguarding the dignity of all Ghanaians, both at home and abroad.
“The Latvian Foreign Ministry has officially responded to my request and indicated that Latvian authorities shall be ready to receive my delegation in Riga on January 20,” Ablakwa wrote. “We are pursuing truth and justice for Nana Agyei, and the Mahama administration values every Ghanaian life.”
The delegation aims to engage with Latvian authorities, gather information on the case, and ensure a thorough, independent investigation in response to the family’s demands for justice.
