A Ghanaian woman is desperately seeking help to locate her husband, who disappeared shortly after a business trip abroad. The woman, who has been left to raise their two kids alone, shared her heartbreaking story on social media, revealing that her husband abandoned her and their children just two years after their marriage in 2016. He went abroad for a business trip and has not been in contact with them since. The distressing post went viral, with many people expressing their sympathy and support for the woman’s plight.
The emotional plea was posted on X (formerly Twitter), where the woman appeared in a video speaking in her native Ghanaian dialect. Her pain and frustration were evident as she spoke about the nine years of abandonment she has suffered. While her words were not fully understood by everyone, the caption provided crucial context, revealing that she has been looking for her husband, Kwaku Henry, for almost a decade. She marked the day as exactly nine years since he left, which was shared by the person who posted the video.
In the video, the woman explained how Kwaku Henry went on the business trip and never returned, leaving her with no means of contacting him. Despite claiming that her husband occasionally visits Ghana, whenever she attempts to track him down, he always disappears back abroad. The family, including the man’s relatives, have reportedly been unhelpful, leaving the woman and her children in limbo.
The post quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions from social media users. Many people sympathized with the woman, while others expressed doubts about the situation or questioned why she hadn’t moved on after so many years. Some users were concerned about the man's family’s role in the situation, while others speculated about deeper motives behind the woman’s actions.
