Albert Kuzor wrote about his recent trip to Togo, stating it left him more frustrated than any of his previous journeys. His first trip to Togo was in 2022, when his father took him and his siblings across the border to inspect land belonging to their late grandfather.

Kuzor had a valid Ghanaian passport, but his father and one sibling were travelling with their ECOWAS documents.
