Following a distressing incident while traveling, veteran artist Mzbel has once again expressed doubts about the Ghana Card's efficacy.

Mzbel, who was trying to bring her two kids back to Ghana from an unidentified country, revealed that she had lost the handbag that included her passport and other important paperwork.
