Two years later, no closure for family of missing Ghanaian fisheries observer

Two Years of Uncertainty for Family of Missing Ghanaian Fisheries Observer

It has been two years since Samuel Abayateye, a fisheries observer, went missing from a fishing boat he was monitoring, yet Ghanaian authorities have not provided any closure for his family.

Abayateye's family, along with the Fisheries Alliance and other international organizations, have repeatedly sought answers from the Ghanaian government about his fate, but to no avail.

The family still hasn't received the results of a DNA test from a body that washed up near their home shortly after his disappearance.

Mongabay reached out to the Ghanaian police for details about the case but didn't receive a response.
