A young Ghanaian lady has left many in awe after she recounted how she was let off the hook by the police in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, because they discovered she was from the same country as Asamoah Gyan.

In a viral video, the young lady, who now works as a teacher in her home country, said it all happened in 2016 after she reported to the police while working as a nanny in the Gulf country.

Recounting her experience, the young lady said that what she initially thought was the worst day of her life turned out to be a memorable one after the police, during interrogation, found out she was a compatriot as the former Al Ain striker.

She disclosed that the police officers, in a bid to satisfy their curiosity, began asking her questions about Asamoah Gyan.

"They asked me if I was his sister, if I knew where he lived, and what food he liked. They even said I resembled him."

The lady said she was eventually released from the police cells and even got the opportunity to work for a respected family in a decent role.

She continued:

"Because of Asamoah Gyan's name and influence, I got to attend a Canadian university in Dubai. Those of you in Dubai know that only rich people attend such schools. I never imagined I could get that kind of opportunity to attend that kind of school. I got my diploma and degree for free. I was working as a nanny and schooling for free", she said in the video.

At the time of writing the report, the video had racked in over 7,000 likes and 800 comments.
