Angela Asare, mother of a Ghanaian nurse, Vera Asamoah, stationed in the nation’s capital, Accra is appealing to Ghanaians to help find her missing daughter.
Madam Asare, who is also a nurse at the Asesewa Government Hospital in the Eastern Region, said her daughter left her apartment located at Ashiyie on Friday, March 26 and has since not been traced.
“She stays alone…and she usually goes to work [on time]. When she wouldn’t go she will ask permission. So on that fateful morning, she had a call from her friend and she told her she was having her morning devotion… And so it was unusual of her that at 10 a.m. she didn’t report to work,” narrated Madam Asare, who is currently in Accra to join the search for her daughter.
