Two Years of Uncertainty for Family of Missing Ghanaian Fisheries Observer
Two years have passed since Samuel Abayateye, a Ghanaian fisheries observer, went missing from the fishing boat Marine 707, which he was tasked with monitoring.
Ghanaian authorities have not provided any closure for his family, nor have they shared the results of a DNA test from a body that washed up near the family home shortly after his disappearance.
Abayateye’s family, along with Ghanaian NGO the Fisheries Alliance and other international organizations, have repeatedly asked the Ghanaian government for answers about Abayateye’s fate, to no avail.
Abayateye, a father of two, was assigned to the Marine 707, a Ghana-flagged pole-and-line tuna-fishing vessel owned and operated by World Marine Company Ltd. The company reported Abayateye missing from the boat on October.
Mongabay reached out to the Ghanaian police for details about the case but didn’t receive a response.
- Abayateye was a fisheries observer on the Marine 707.
- He went missing two years ago.
- The Ghanaian government has not provided answers about his fate.
