VIDEO: Togolese ‘Border Extortion’ Exposed As Ghanaian Youtuber Wode Maya Engages In Heated Scuffle Over Bribery.

Award-winning YouTuber Wode Maya, whose official name is Berthold Kobby Winkler Ackon, is a Ghanaian YouTube personality, vlogger, digital media influencer, and aeronautical engineer.

Wode has dedicated his whole youtube channel to showcasing the beauty of Africa and the various African cultures. His channel isn’t simply a hit for the westerners and diasporans that wish to visit the country, but also to the very same Africans that are on the fence in regards to visiting other African cultures.

He recently exposed the corruption and extortion that takes place when driving from Togo to Ghana by road. In a short video uploaded he had to fight with some officers stationed on the Togo border after he refused to pay a bribe they demanded.

Wode Maya revealed that these officers requested that he pays a bribe of CFA 2000 before they would stamp his passport for him to make his way into the French-speaking country.

According to him, he found this absurd and unlawful so he decided he was not going to pay — a decision the officers were also not going to accept which led to a heated scuffle with the attempt to seize his camera.

Wode Maya added that these officers tried to seize his camera just because ge refused to pay the money the requested and it ensued in a scuffle between himself and the officers because he was not determined to walk away with his camera. Watch the clip below.
