A Ghanaian student currently pursuing further studies in the US has expressed pain at the news about the dismissal and subsequent arrest of four Ghanaian students.
In a video that has since gone viral and was sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, the young man looked sad about the situation at Pennsylvania's Lehigh University.
He believes the arrest of the four students at the US institution could cause other universities to be more cautious when receiving admissions from Ghanaians.

Addressing the issue, the young man lamented that the unfortunate incident was largely due to the student's failure to do due diligence by checking to see if the transcripts contained any errors prior to submission.
He explained that it was quite rare for universities in the US to verify the authenticity of a student's high school transcript hence, this could only mean something untoward had taken place.
"Many people are often in a rush to submit their application and hence do not take their time to check their transcripts."
His comments come after Evans Oppong of NSMQ fame and three other students were arrested for falsifying their transcripts.
He prayed that the authorities would pardon the four embattled Ghanaian students.
At the time of the report, the post had raked in over 5,000 likes and 90 comments.
