A viral video circulating on social media sheds light on a troubling incident at an airport where a Ghanaian youth, preparing to board a flight in the next 30 minutes, was unexpectedly subjected to a rigorous security check without apparent justification.

The individual, who proudly identified himself as Ghanaian, found himself halted by an official who cited the suspicion of carrying a significant amount of money during his travels.The official proceeded to search through the young man's luggage and interrogated him with a series of questions, seemingly without any clear basis for suspicion.In a fortunate turn of events, the young man's imminent flight was saved by a timely call from his mother, prompting the official to release him as no wrongdoing was found.

However, the incident has ignited a wave of mixed reactions on social media, with a considerable number of users denouncing the unwarranted search as a potential case of racial profiling.Watch video below:
