The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ghana has called upon the public to assist in locating the relatives of Solomon Apia, a Ghanaian national who passed away in Nigeria on July 5, 2021. In a statement released on October 28, 2026, the Ministry disclosed that Apia had resided and worked in Nigeria for more than a decade, where he was employed as a cleaner by a construction firm named Stabilini Visiononi Ltd. Reliable sources indicate that Apia was born on March 6, 1960, in Accra, the capital city of Ghana.

He was married, stood at around 5 feet 3 inches tall, and attended a Methodist primary school in his home country. According to the Ministry, data obtained from Apia's phone suggests that he might have had family members or acquaintances named Steven Yeboah, Wisdom Nanor, Nana, and Eva. The Ministry has urged anyone possessing information about Apia's relatives or who can aid in tracing his next of kin to reach out to its Information and Public Affairs Bureau (IPAB). The Ministry has extended an appeal for the public's support in helping to trace Mr. Apia's family.
