Frederick Ofosu
A Ghanaian migrant-Frederick Ofosu, 33, who was facing deportation from Malta committed suicide on Saturday after he was forced to “feel like a criminal” by a new immigration policy in that country.
According to The Times of Malta, he was found strangled with an electric cable in a Qawra building site on Saturday night–and he left a recorded message for friends explaining his despair, saying he was being forced to feel like a criminal when he had done no wrong.
Mr Ofosu is reported as having gone to Malta eight years ago, leaving Ghana because of extreme poverty.
He worked for a number of years, but after he lost his job he was faced with a number of demands from the authorities, including documentation he could never provide, said Ahmed Bugri, director for the Foundation for Shelter and Support for Migrants.
May his soul rest in peace…
