Mr. Agyapong deflated the allegations that he made his money through drugs and expounded that he and his boss, Kwadwo Afram Asiedu, processed 2,500 applications, for which they charged $2,500 each.
“In 1989, [US President] Ronald Reagan had introduced an amnesty program so I was fortunate to work with a lawyer. He is called Kwadwo Afram Asiedu. He recruited me and I started working with him. That is the ‘cocaine’ money. That is where I made the money,” Mr. Agyapong mentioned on Citi TV.
“I made a lot of money. We did about 2,500 applications and everybody paid $2,500. I did all the documentation and my boss, because he is a lawyer, will go and present the documents at the immigration [office]. Out of the $2,500, my boss will get $700 and I will get the rest and use some for the documentation. So when we finished, I had made a lot of money.”

Kennedy revealed that he worked on documents for interested Ghanaians wishing to travel to the US, adding that each documentation cost $5,000.
He proclaimed, these monies, made him a dollar millionaire for the first time.
“When people don’t know your background and they think that you are a drug dealer, it is so painful. To the second chance of my money… A lot of Ghanaians had won the US lottery and they didn’t know how to process it so I went back to America and this time another boss, Lawyer Fofie, I went there and told him that I have a connection in Ghana…He was interested in the cash right there. He took $500…I bought the applications for $48,000, that’s about 96 applications and brought it to Ghana.
