An 18-year-old Ghanaian international student in Latvia, Nana Agyei Oduru Ahyia, has been reported dead under circumstances his family describes as 'mysterious and suspicious'.
According to family spokesperson Sarah Nimli, the deceased was a first-year Electrical Engineering (Adaptronic) student at Riga Technical University in Latvia, having gained admission to the institution in July 2024.
Citing reasons behind their suspicions of foul play in Oduru Ahyia's death, the family indicated that three days before his passing on June 1, 2025, Nana Agyei, who had been residing in an apartment on Baznīcas Street in Riga, reportedly sent a distressing voice note claiming he had been poisoned.
He was later reported to have died on June 4, 2025, after authorities informed his family that he had fallen from the sixth floor of his apartment and succumbed to the injuries.
