Recounting her experience, the young lady said that what she initially thought was the worst day of her life turned out to be a memorable one after the police, during interrogation, found out she was a compatriot as the former Al Ain striker.
She disclosed that the police officers, in a bid to satisfy their curiosity, began asking her questions about Asamoah Gyan.
“They asked me if I was his sister, if I knew where he lived, and what food he liked. They even said I resembled him.”
The lady said she was eventually released from the police cells and even got the opportunity to work for a respected family in a decent role.

“Because of Asamoah Gyan’s name and influence, I got to attend a Canadian university in Dubai. Those of you in Dubai know that only rich people attend such schools. I never imagined I could get that kind of opportunity to attend that kind of school. I got my diploma and degree for free. I was working as a nanny and schooling for free”, she said in the video.
At the time of writing the report, the video had racked in over 7,000 likes and 800 comments.
