Home - ‘I shut down my drug store to travel to UK, IGNITE agents dumped me in Nigeria’ - Man narrates

Richmond Tucson, a 35-year-old drugstore owner, has detailed how he was allegedly lured to Nigeria after paying money in connection with plans to travel abroad.

In a video shared on X and sighted by GhanaWeb on September 27, 2026, Richmond explained that a marketing company, identified as IGNITE, promised to facilitate his travel to the United Kingdom.

According to him, he had to shut down his drugstore business and hand it over to a friend in preparation for the journey.

Richmond said he was told during his travels that he would transit through Nigeria.

However, after arriving in the country, he has been unable to continue his journey to the UK.

Richmond, who has practised nursing for over seven years in Ghana, further explained that he did not know the business until he arrived in Nigeria.

“I was a former registered nurse, but I stopped and started my own drug business in Accra, Lapaz. But I closed it and gave it to a friend when an opportunity came to travel to the UK.

“They asked me to transit, and I found myself here. But they told me the business is IGNITE, and they told me they sell products, so I am learning. I have practised as a nurse for over seven years,” he said.
