Albert Kesse, a Ghanaian man, has been confirmed dead after travelling to Canada for the first time in search of greener pastures.
Reports suggest Albert Kesse collapsed at the Toronto Pearson International Airport just 10 minutes after arrival.
In a post shared by ASKghmedia on X, read, “A Ghanaian man, Albert Kesse, has been confirmed déad after travelling to Canada for the first time in search of greener pastures, only to collapse at Toronto Pearson International Airport just 10 minutes after arrival while going through the immigration process.
The confirmation came after Albert’s wife and family appeared on Auntie Naa’s Oyerepa Afutuo show to report that the agent who had processed his Canadian travel documents earlier this month told them he had passed away in Canada, but failed to provide any details about the circumstances of his déath or the location of his bódy.
This prompted Oyerepa FM and TV to contact Canadian authorities and Ethiopian Airlines, who confirmed that shortly after Albert’s arrival at the airport, he collapsed and was rushed to Etobicoke General Hospital, but unfortunately, he could not be saved. Albert Kesse leaves behind a wife and five children”.
The post also added a video of Oyerepa FM and TV, which went to identify Albert Kesse at a funeral home in Canada.
“A video from representatives of Oyerepa FM and TV, who went to identify him at a funeral home in Canada. Mr. Kesse had only gone to Canada in search of greener pastures to take care of his family, but fate had other plans. The eldest of the five children he left behind is only 11 years old”, the post added.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the news stated, “The guy died at the Canadian airport with no conclusion on the cause of death, but people are saying a Ghanaian killed him. Negative and mentally disturbed people”.
“Is either he swallow white powder? If not, you can’t convince me otherwise!”, one netizen added.
Another netizen added, “Don’t get me wrong, but what does an elderly man with 5 children going to seek in Canada? This is not right”.
Additionally, a netizen added, “See his age over 40 years still travelling abroad to go look for work and better life when the opportunity and chance are less, maybe Canada cold freeze his heart at the airport when he arrived, this to tell Ghana government need to provide more work for the citizens”.
