If you missed it, here’s the recap of our interview with Kyei Baffour:
However, instead of fulfilling his promise, Gyamfi arranged for Baffour to be sent to Indonesia, where he has been stuck for 11 months.
Baffour, a former electrician and sprinter driver from Akyem Kyease, Ghana, had dreamed of traveling to Japan to expand his horizons.
He entrusted Mr Gyamfi, a so-called connection man, to facilitate his journey.
Baffour was left disillusioned after being misled about the destination and is now facing the harsh reality of being stranded in Indonesia.
In a follow-up interview, Mr Tillman Gyamfi responded to the allegations, stating that Baffour had only paid $8,000, not $10,000 as claimed.
Mr Gyamfi explained that he had assisted Baffour with an Indonesian visa because obtaining a Japanese visa from Ghana was challenging.
Gyamfi claimed that the Japan Embassy had rejected Baffour’s visa application and that he had advised Baffour to reapply after six months.
He also denied running away from the situation, insisting that he had spoken to Baffour’s brother in Japan about repaying the money in installments.
Gyamfi emphasized that he had helped many others migrate to Japan, with some even building mansions in Ghana.
He reiterated that there were abundant job opportunities in Japan, particularly in sectors shunned by Japanese youth, such as hard labor.
Gyamfi further pleaded that he would be able to repay half of the payment ($4,000) to Baffour within three months.
Despite the tensions and accusations, Gyamfi expressed a willingness to settle the matter amicably, provided Baffour gave him time to raise the money.
He also criticized the Japanese recruitment system, claiming that they often prefer to hire workers from other Asian countries over Africans.
As of now, the situation remains unresolved, with Baffour awaiting his refund while Mr Gyamfi insists he will make good on the repayment.
