Wild reactions as Ghanaian delegation sent to Norway to bring home corpse of dead paralympic coach mysteriously vanish

Ghana's National Paralympic Committee has reported a mysterious incident involving four relatives of a deceased Paralympic coach who were sent to Norway to retrieve his remains.

The relatives vanished upon arrival in Norway, adding to the controversy surrounding Ghana's sports ministry.

Some purported para-athletes from Ghana scheduled to participate in the Bergren Marathon in Oslo, Norway, absconded after arriving in the country in April.

Tragically, one member passed away, and another was caught by Norwegian authorities while attempting to cross into Sweden.

According to National Paralympic Committee President Samson Deen, the four relatives who traveled to Norway to bring back the coach's body have also disappeared.

"Initially, six or seven people applied for visas, but were denied. They then forged documents and arrived in Norway, where they absconded. One person died, and later, four relatives were sent to retrieve the body, but they also vanished," Deen explained in an interview with local media Asaase Radio.

The incident has sparked intriguing reactions on social media, with many Nigerians sharing their thoughts on the controversy.
