After successfully completing the documentation process, Ashong was reunited with his family on Thursday, April 14, 2022.
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Regina Asamoah expressed joy over successfully reuniting the boy with his rightful family.
''I was overly happy because the woman who brought Ashong to Ghana had told me about her traumatic experience since the boy got missing,'' he recounted.
''She has not known peace and inner happiness, so seeing her so happy, screaming, singing praises to God made me so happy that, through my journalistic work, I brought joy to her and her family.
''I was also excited because the boy would now grow up with his family and not in an orphanage,'' she told YEN.com.gh.
