Your question is very vague. Is your friend a citizen of another country traveling in Ghana and unable to leave? If so contact the Department of Foreign Affairs in your friend's country of origin.

If your friend is a native of Ghana and unable to leave there may be many reasons for this. Either Ghana officials have a reason not to allow your friend to leave, or the country to which they wish to travel will not allow them to enter.

If your friend is from Ghana and you have never met them in person before please be aware of a scam that is currently operating through which persons claiming to live in Ghana profess friendship or romantic interest over the Internet and subsequently ask for money for living expenses, "travel" expenses or "visa costs". Often these people claim that they are trying to leave Ghana but have been detained by immigration who are demanding payment.

Before sending any money to Ghana please take the time to be very well informed and for more information see the official website of the United States Embassy in Ghana.
