The Minister disclosed in a Facebook post on Monday that he met the family at the Foreign Ministry, where he extended his condolences and updated them on steps taken so far by his office.
According to the Minister, a fact-finding mission was quickly dispatched from Ghana’s embassy in Germany, which has concurrent accreditation to Latvia, to investigate the circumstances of Nana Agyei Ahyia’s death.
He said the team has since submitted an initial report to the Ministry.
The Minister disclosed that Latvian authorities have indicated that investigations into the case are still underway.
He stated that he has formally informed the Latvian government of his intention to travel to Latvia to meet his counterpart and engage directly with investigators handling the matter.
Mr Ablakwa said representatives of Nana Agyei Ahyia’s family will be part of his delegation to Latvia to ensure transparency and family participation.
He added that government will engage independent experts to examine all investigative reports, especially the final report expected from Latvian authorities, to guide subsequent actions.
Mr Ablakwa reassured the family that all steps being taken are directed at securing justice for their loved one, stressing that the case remains a key concern for the government.
