Homelessness of Ghanaian musician Barosky in UK

Overview

Ghanaian musician Isaac Obeng Mensah, professionally known as Barosky, faced homelessness in Manchester, United Kingdom. Reports indicated he was sleeping outdoors and struggling to access food and hygiene facilities, leading him to issue an appeal for funds to secure a plane ticket back to Ghana.

Following public attention to his situation, Barosky received temporary housing and work through assistance from a member of the Ghanaian diaspora. His condition involved mental health challenges and difficulties accessing healthcare due to documentation issues. Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, intervened by traveling to Manchester to meet with the musician and community leaders to assess his condition. Barosky continues to seek assistance to return to Ghana, noting that his passport is being held by police because he lacks a fixed address.
