The mother of Daniel Yusif, Hajara, revealed his son returned to Ghana on his own and was not arrested trying to flee, as it has been widely reported.
According to Hajara, his son lives in Accra, where he sells laptops, and he met Abu Trica, where they became friends.
She revealed she heard broadcaster Black Rasta making allegations connecting his son to Abu Trica’s romance scam, adding that he informed his son, but he denied any wrongdoing.

When he returned, he was arrested at the airport”.
“People are twisting the story and saying he was running away and got arrested at the airport. That is not true. He returned to Ghana on his own,” she stressed.
