The renewed government action follows the death of 21-year-old Nana Agyei, a first-year Electrical Engineering (Adaptronic) student at Riga Technical University, who reportedly fell from the sixth floor of his apartment building on Baznicas Street on June 4, 2025. He had enrolled at the university in July 2024.
While Latvian authorities described the incident as a fall, the family has rejected that account, insisting that the circumstances surrounding his death raise serious questions.
According to the family, the student sent a disturbing voice note three days before his death, claiming he had been poisoned, suggesting he may have been harmed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has assured the public that updates will be provided as investigations continue.
