A Ghanaian resident in Germany, Mohammed Sheikh, has shared the challenging journey he endured after traveling to Libya in the 1990s.

In an interview with Zionfelix, Sheikh recounted the hardships he faced before securing a factory job in Libya, where his role involved loading blocks onto vehicles.

However, his time in Libya was marked by two traumatic incidents that changed his life forever.

Sheikh recalled a workplace accident in 2005 that resulted in the loss of two fingers.

“I was arranging about 1,000 blocks on a tractor. While closing the vehicle, I accidentally inserted my fingers, and someone unknowingly pressed a button. The switch cut off my two fingers. I was lucky because it could have been my whole hand. Although I received medical treatment, the damage was permanent,” he explained in Twi.

In another harrowing incident, Sheikh recounted being electrocuted while working on a transformer.

“I went to switch on a transformer, and it exploded in my face, electrocuting me. That’s when I lost all my hair and became permanently bald,” he shared.

Despite these life-altering experiences, Sheikh has risen above the challenges and built a stable life.

He now runs businesses in both Italy and Germany, which provide him with financial stability.
