Peeps console family of deceased in Canada

Ghanaians who thronged the comment section of the video have consoled the family of the man who passed in Canada.

@kwadwoantwidonkor3765 stated:

“Why don’t you go to the Canada High Commission to find out if Albert Kessi’s passport has come to their office?”

@philtymcnasty9994 stated:

“ETOBICOKE GENERAL HOSPITAL is very close to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. A lot of Ghanaians live in Etobicoke. I used to live there myself. If that was where the body of Albert Kessi was taken, it should be very easy for the Ghana Embassy and the Ghanaian association to track him down.”

@Alex-2x2 added:

“If he couldn’t fly on that said day, then his phone could be in the wrong hands, and the person was the one who sent a message to his wife pretending to be him, saying he is on the plane.”
