The classmate’s relatives had allegedly told Constance to keep the trip secret, hence her disappearance.

The trip, however, did not come off, and Constance, fearing punishment from her family, said she remained on the streets before being taken in by the woman.

Ghanaweb first reported that Constance had gone to cut her hair on July 28, and returned late, prompting a spat with her family, which preceded her running away.

She has been reunited with her parents while Police continue to probe the matter.
