Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has confirmed that urgent investigations have been launched into the reported death of a Ghanaian student in Latvia, following serious concerns from the victim’s family over potential foul play.
In a statement on X, Minister Ablakwa described the incident as “heart-wrenching” and assured the public that the matter is being pursued through diplomatic channels.
“My attention has been drawn to a heart-wrenching video reporting the killing of a Ghanaian student by the name Nana Adjei in Latvia,” he wrote. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has commenced immediate investigations through relevant diplomatic channels. We shall provide the public with regular updates.”

He further warned that Ghana would not tolerate harm against its citizens abroad, emphasising, “Nobody harms a Ghanaian in any part of the world and gets away with it.”
The renewed government action follows the death of 21-year-old Nana Agyei, a first-year electrical engineering student at Riga Technical University, who reportedly fell from the sixth floor of his apartment on Baznicas Street on June 4, 2025. The student had enrolled at the university in July 2024.
While Latvian authorities have described the incident as a fall, the family has rejected this account, insisting that the circumstances surrounding his death raise serious questions. According to the family, the student sent a disturbing voice note three days before his death, claiming he had been poisoned, which suggests he may have been harmed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has pledged to provide regular updates as the investigations continue, signalling Ghana’s commitment to ensuring justice for its citizens abroad.
