The famed YouTube content creator made the allegations while reacting to a viral video that captured the tour guide and a white travel vlogger touring the James Town community.
Following the allegations made by Wode Maya, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, and her deputy, Abeiku Aggrey Santana, visited James Town to ascertain the veracity of the allegations.
When the GTA heads met with the tour guide, he denied the claims made against him by the YouTuber and used the opportunity to explain his side of the story.

Following the discussion with the GTA, the tour guide took further steps to clear his name, albeit through traditional means.
In a video circulating on social media, the man was seen in the middle of a river, summoning Wode Maya to the gods.
The Ghanaian tour guide looked visibly sad and angry as he sought justice from the river gods regarding the matter between him and Wode Maya.
"I'm standing between the sea and a river at James Town. Wode Maya, you called me a scammer? If I'm a scammer, I couldn't have survived in James Town. I've been doing this job for many years, and I've never scammed anyone before. I've never seized anyone's camera before, but you claimed I seized your camera. I leave you to this river," he said.
"If it's true that I've seized your camera or scammed anyone before, or taken money from anyone for a project I didn't do, this river should deal with me. But if it's not true, then I leave you to God," he added while shedding tears.
Reacting to this in a discussion with YEN.com.gh, Apostle Eric Okai, said it is wrong for a Christian to curse their fellow Christian
"The Bible clearly mentioned instances where God pronounces curses, often as consequences of disobedience or actions that violate His law. It is not good for a Christian to curse their fellow Christian," he stated.
The Bible instructs Christians to speak words that are helpful, encouraging, and full of grace, rather than using language that is harmful or filled with negativity.
