Two Years Later, No Closure for Family of Missing Ghanaian Fisheries Observer
Two years after Samuel Abayateye went missing from a fishing boat, Ghanaian authorities have not announced what happened to him.
Abayateye's family, along with the Fisheries Alliance and other international organizations, have repeatedly asked the Ghanaian government for answers, to no avail.
Abayateye, a father of two, was assigned to the Marine 707, a Ghana-flagged pole-and-line tuna-fishing vessel owned and operated by World Marine Company Ltd.
The Ghanaian police did not respond to requests for details about the case.
A DNA test from a body that washed up near the family home shortly after his disappearance has not been shared with his family.
