This unfortunate incident was narrated by another Canada-based Ghanaian in a YouTube interview sighted by YEN.com.gh.

The unidentified Canada-based Ghanaian man who narrated the sad ordeal said the boy was sent back to Ghana because he did not have a legal permit to stay in Canada.

"Those of you who have just arrived, I want to advise you to learn from the boy's mistakes and be careful when you go to the shops to buy stuff," he advised.

Netizens react to the boy's ordeal

Netizens who came across the video narrating the boy's sad ordeal in Canada flooded the comment section with their reactions.

"If the tilapia was grilled why didn’t she eat it inside the shop. You can eat fruits inside so far as you don’t take it out."
