Ctv Winnipeg: Man and Mohammed

ctv winnipeg: Doctors have told him that his fingers, and possibly his hands, will need to be amputated, according to The Waterloo Record. Mohammed tells CTV Winnipeg he fled Ghana fearing for his life because he is bisexual. On Dec. 24, Seidu Mohammed, 24, who is from Ghana in West Africa, crossed the border on foot near Emerson, Man., with another man from the same country. He says he spent a year in a detention facility in the United States and when he was released he decided to head north to Canada. All our arms were frozen, our feet frozen, we can't see, says Mohammed. He and the other man walked for 10 hours in freezing and snowy weather, losing their hats, mitts and their way.
