In an interview with Ghanaian vlogger Felix Adomako Mensah, popularly known as Zionfelix, Kwaku Manu opened up on the trying ordeal, which he said left him disturbed.
He told Zionfelix that he travelled to the Netherlands but was taken into custody after being pulled aside and interrogated about his intentions for visiting the country.
Kwaku Manu described the ordeal as scary and said he got into even more trouble after failing to correctly name the individual who was supposed to host him in the country.
"I have gone through a lot of ordeals on my travels. I have even reached a country where they refused me entry. I was with Dutch immigration officers, and I was feeling nervous, so I started talking anyhow,” he said.
“So they took me aside to a separate room and asked me to give the name of the person I was coming to stay with. Unfortunately, I knew the person's name, but that was not his official name, which put me in even more trouble,” he added.
He said eventually, he was deported from the country and had his visa cancelled.
