Ghanaian Migrant Exposes Fake Agent Razak After Surviving a Dangerous Journey to the U.S.
A Ghanaian migrant called Nazir has shared his harrowing experience of traveling through Mexico to enter the United States, only to be deceived by a fraudulent agent named Razak. In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide, Nasir detailed the struggles he faced, including extortion, detention, and near-death experiences.
Nasir explained that Razak tricked him and took part of his money, but he was fortunate enough to eventually enter the U.S. After realizing Razak was a fraud, Nasir refused to send him more money. Razak, along with his cartel associates, threatened Nasir’s life, forcing him to pay $1,000 and 10,000 pesos. Despite this, Nasir managed to reclaim his money and found another smuggler who helped him continue his journey.
Razak had scammed multiple people, including a Nigerian man in New York who also lost money to him. Nasir revealed that many migrants in Mexico wanted revenge on Razak for his fraudulent dealings.
Nasir’s journey started in Brazil and took him through Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and eventually Mexico. He described how armed robbers disguised as police officers terrorized them in Bolivia, and in Colombia, they encountered ICE officers. In the Panamanian jungle, they faced wild animals and treacherous terrain, leaving some migrants behind.
Upon reaching Mexico, Nasir and his group had to cross the sea in a motorized canoe, narrowly escaping death. He admitted that had he known how dangerous the journey was, he would have remained in Ghana with his wife, children, and mother.
Nasir entered the U.S. through the Mexicali border, but the journey was deadly. Some migrants jumped onto moving trains, resulting in fatal falls. After crossing, Nasir was picked up by border patrol and detained. He initially considered deportation but ultimately decided to stay.
He spent two days in a freezing detention facility, which he described as unbearable. Eventually, he was transferred to a different center and later released after receiving a positive asylum result.
Now living in the U.S., Nasir works under the table, earning around 4,000 GHC daily. He expressed relief that he can now support his family back in Ghana, ensuring they have food and a stable life.
However, he warns others against taking the same route, particularly advising women not to travel illegally, as they often face exploitation. He recalled a Somali man who died after jumping from a moving train, emphasizing the dangers of illegal migration.
Nasir urged the Ghanaian government to create better opportunities for its youth so they do not have to endure such perilous journeys. He acknowledged that life in the U.S. is tough but believes he has found a way to provide for his loved ones.
