About Rufai Kasim
Born and raised in Accra, Ghana and relocated to the USA to live with his father and his two siblings. He went to college and studied criminal justice. With a priority to impact people’s life, he was in the process of joining the Navy but his entrepreneurial spirit took over, he started drop shipping while in school.

It was to connect people together on the same frequency of love . That was my mission. Inspire motivate to restore hope . It was a whole vibe. I had people rocking it, which they loved it.”
After a horrific experience with armed robbers in 2019, Rufai Kasim is now the director at Carlo Van Security, providing advance security for homes and corporate Ghana. He was not a security service provider until armed robbers took all his belongings.
But according to Kasim, a United States-based tech expert, the robbery was a result of a set-up between a friend and the robbers. The result of his experience – Carlo Van – could be explained with the popular expression, “necessity is the mother of inventions”.
“I remember I was in Ghana in 2019 to purchase a house for American comedian Michael Blankson, but a friend of mine set me up for armed robbers. Luckily for me, I had paid for the house, so they only made away with my clothes and other stuff… I remember how I stood helpless while they took my valuables,” he recounted.
The robbers managed to take away more than physical possessions but left Kasoim needing psychiatric attention.
“After that horrific experience, I suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which was difficult to deal with. So I decided to do something positive with my situation,” he said.
Out of his pain, Kasim developed a wireless security panel and a door sensor that calls the police and other emergency contacts when an intruder is detected.
“I made a wireless panel because there have been times where the robbers are able to cut through the wires and break in. I also added a motion detector that will trigger an in-built siren to wail,” he disclosed.
“The panel also has a two-way audio slot that can be connected to the [homeowner’s] phone”.The camera has a night vision and rechargeable batteries, which means that it can function even when there are lights off,” he said in an interview.
