The man returned to Ghana after spending 15 years working in Germany. He hoped to finally see the house he had been paying for take shape. What he found instead was a shock that fueled into anger and disbelief.
According to Briefly News’ sister, YEN.com.gh, the man explained that while he was abroad, he trusted his uncle to handle the construction on his behalf. Over time, he sent money meant to build a proper four-bedroom house on his land. When he made the trip back home to check on progress, only an incomplete tattered structure stood.
Trusting family felt natural, especially given the distance and the belief that blood would protect his interests.

By the time he stood on the site, it was clear that the money sent had not been used the way it was supposed to be. The man said the structure would have to be pulled down completely, meaning he would need to start the building process all over again.
The man made it clear that he was not going to stay silent. He stated that he intended to have his uncle arrested over what had happened. People who were with him at the site were also visibly shocked by the state of the building.
