He lamented that the escalating tensions have seen many missiles being fired toward Dubai, a distressing situation he admits has left him panicking.
The young man has therefore made a passionate appeal to Ghana’s President John Mahama to take all necessary measures to ensure that Ghanaians in the Gulf region remain safe amid the escalating tensions.
"We are appealing to our leader, John Mahama. Looking at how Iran is firing missiles into Dubai, we Ghanaians are afraid and unable to sleep. You hear loud noises when you are asleep. We are appealing to him to do something on our behalf because what is happening here is bad. We are unable to sleep because we are afraid. We are appealing to him to act urgently."
