Read all the comments above before yours. Not even a single person's IQ is high enough to know it is a cock and bull story?
So in the plane going to Addis Ababa, if you open the passport and look at it, will the agent see you?
And Ghanaians believe this!!!
No wonder politicians find it easy to rule over you.

I don't believe her story in totality. If it did happen as narrated, she deserves her ordeal.

Such incidents occur a dozen a dime! The police should investigate and get to the very bottom of the story and deal harshly with any criminals caught in the net.

His wife's sister not his wife. Even his story has a big hole in it. Where did she get the phone to call them? One minute her was seized the next she is on the phone crying.

Why are african countries allowing arabs to come to our and stay there? they should be sent back to their countries. Racism has no place in this modern world. They are also responsible for all the bad names on muslims. These people are not humans

why can't our security agencies track those posters advertising this travel to Us, travel to Dubai etc down. I get soo sick seeing those posters in town while our helpless security folks sit unconcerned. Ghana is such a sick country. If Preventing this phenomena is hard to do in our own country in the first place, then what do you expect helpless authorities to do when you happen to be in a foreign land?

I think the Ghana government has to do something about this, and arrest these unscrupulous Ghanaians involve in this criminal recruitment . It is very painful reading this kind of articles.

Since the stories of mistreatment or slavery ordeals towards Ghanaian Women in the Middle East surfaced, what internal measures and external action has Mahama led NDC admin, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,taken to help the Victims from enslavement to address it locally.I think it behooves on the Sector Ministries to(1)Seriously Sensitize the general Public through Radio Talks and TV documentary awareness (slavery ordeal movies) if not already in place.(2).Office, Home or hideout , including Boaders and Airport Exit points Clampdown and arrest of Recruitment Agents, with Court Action.(3)Mandatory action by Ghana Mission in the Middle East to endeavor to help the Victims to gain their freedom with the help of INTERPOL, etc.I think the above suggested when employed would help
I don't want to believe, Mahama and Hannah Tetteh do not hear the cries of their own people but that from far away Gimo Bay.Anyway.
