Ghana's Deputy Head of Mission and Deputy Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sanni Jajah, has died.

He died on the evening of Saturday, August 9, according to his nephew, Yussif Jajah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso North, who announced the death in a Facebook post.

The MP described the loss as a heavy blow to the family and appealed to the public to keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

He said further details on funeral arrangements and burial would be communicated by the family in due course.
