A barber, Noah Quansah has shared his experience of how he attempted to travel to Italy on a boat from Libya.

Speaking with SVTV Africa’s DJ Nyaami, Noah indicated that he has always wanted to leave Ghana because of the hardship. According to him, he stayed in Libya for 2 years and decided to continue his journey to Italy.
