Brother of Kyei Baffour, the Ghanaian Stuck in Indonesia, Speaks Out
David, the brother of Kyei Baffour, a Ghanaian stranded in Indonesia, has shared his side of the story, expressing deep disappointment in Mr. Tillman, a connection man he trusted to help his brother secure a Japanese visa.
David revealed this during an interview with DJ Nyaami, host of the Daily Hustle Show and CEO of SVTV Africa.
According to David, Mr. Tillman claimed that due to restrictions on obtaining Japanese visas directly from Ghana, Kyei would need to travel to Indonesia, stay there for a month, and apply for the visa from that country.

However, once Kyei arrived in Indonesia, issues began to arise. He was informed that he didn’t have a residence permit, making it impossible for him to apply for a Japanese visa there.
David explained that Mr. Tillman initially assured them that a lawyer in Indonesia would handle the necessary permits.
However, Kyei was forced to pay $300 as a connection fee at the airport in Bali. Despite these payments, Kyei remained stranded, and his situation worsened.
David accused Mr. Tillman of lying about covering Kyei’s rent and accommodation.
“I am the one sending my brother money for rent, food, and other expenses,” David said. “Mr. Tillman should at least refund half of the money we paid so I can buy a ticket for my brother to return to Ghana and restart his life.”
David disclosed that his brother paid Mr. Tillman a total of $8,000 for the visa process, yet nothing has materialized.
He claimed that Mr. Tillman used the money for personal expenses and other clients’ visa processes.

David stated that Mr. Tillman continues to deceive them with promises of reapplying for a Japanese visa, despite knowing that Japan rarely approves a visa after the first rejection unless done through legitimate means, such as via a company or marriage sponsorship.
“It’s all mind games,” David lamented. “If Japan refuses you a visa once, it’s almost impossible to get it approved again.”
David also highlighted the challenges of using tourist visas to enter Japan, stating that many people who attempt this are deported upon arrival.
“Some are detained at the airport, their phones are seized, and they are sent back to their home countries,” he said.
David expressed deep disappointment in Mr. Tillman, accusing him of taking advantage of desperate individuals seeking greener pastures.
“If he were my age group, I would have confronted him directly. I can’t say anything bad about Mr. Tillman personally, but it seems the people he relied on in Indonesia failed him.”
David revealed that Kyei isn’t the only victim of Mr. Tillman’s failed promises.
“There are more than 10 people stuck in Indonesia because of Mr. Tillman. Some even reach out to me for financial support,” he said.
David concluded by urging Mr. Tillman to refund at least half of the money paid so Kyei can return to Ghana.
He also warned that his brother has drafted a formal complaint to the Japanese immigration authorities about Mr. Tillman’s activities.
“I’ve tried to handle this amicably, but if he doesn’t act responsibly, we’ll have no choice but to escalate it.”
David emphasized that Japan offers immense opportunities for those willing to work hard.
However, he cautioned against fraudulent schemes that exploit the hopes of people seeking a better life.
