Exactly one week ago, Priscilla Essinam Nyamalor woke up with hope in her heart — a determined young woman stepping out to chase a job opportunity and shape her future. Her family believed she would return home with good news. Instead, ten days later, they found themselves gathering to observe her one-week memorial, a moment they never imagined would arrive so soon.
Priscilla is one of the six young Ghanaian women whose lives were tragically cut short during the El-Wak recruitment stampede, a heartbreaking incident that has shaken the entire nation. Families, friends, and sympathizers continue to pour out grief and disbelief as they remember the dreams, aspirations, and unfinished journeys of these young women.
The six victims —
Priscilla Essinam Nyamalor,
Benedicta Yayra Kale,
Priscilla Efya Larbi,
Matilda Midorse,
Peace Kpotivi, and
Yvonne Amoateng —
have become symbols of the harsh reality facing many Ghanaian youth striving for employment and a better future.
A touching compilation video of the ladies, along with their social media handles and emotional reactions from their families, has been shared in the comments section, capturing both their vibrant lives and the deep sorrow following their loss.
As the nation mourns, many are calling for stronger safety measures, improved recruitment procedures, and better opportunities for young people to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again. Their passing serves as a painful reminder that no Ghanaian youth should lose their life in the pursuit of work or opportunity.
May their dreams, their hopes, and their voices continue to inspire change.
May Ghana never forget Priscilla, Benedicta, Priscilla, Matilda, Peace, and Yvonne.
Rest in peace, precious daughters of Ghana.
