Kwabena Peprah, a member of the Wanderlust Ghana team attempting to travel from Accra to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, has announced that they have been robbed.

In a post shared on Facebook on Friday, September 27, 2024, Kwame Peprah disclosed that they were robbed in Krefeld, Germany, on the 13th day of their journey to Dubai.

He indicated that the robbers broke into one of the vehicles they were using for the adventure - a Tacoma, and made away with some of their belongings, including their money and possibly travel documents.

“I was dressing up when Saka knocked on my door that the receptionist had called him. The Tacoma has been burgled. Someone smashed the front window and took lots of stuff, including my wallet and possibly Kwame’s passport,” he wrote.

Kwabena Peprah also indicated that the robbery is likely to affect their journey because if Kwame’s passport was stolen, it would be the end of the road for him.

“We are not allowed to touch the car before the police have had their turn, and so at the moment, I’m sitting in a German police station waiting to file a report and go through the processes.

“If Kwame’s passport was in the car, I’m sure we can get a new one issued at the embassy in Berlin, but the trip may be over for him because the other visas needed along the route will not be easy to reissue.”

Kwame, in a video shared by Asaase Radio, affirmed that his passport was in the Tacoma, indicating that it might be the end of the road for him on their journey by road to Dubai.

“Our car has been broken into in the parking garage, the Tacoma has been broken into. I’m now going into the car to see what has happened with it.

“Unfortunately, I was so tired that I left my passport in the car. I don’t know if that is intact. That is my biggest worry. If my passport is gone, that would probably be the end of the journey for me,” he said.
