Ghanaian actor Strika, known for his role in the award-winning movie Beasts of No Nation, has been sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted of stealing metal railings from the Kwashieman footbridge.
The actor was found guilty of removing the metal railings from the footbridge and allegedly attempting to sell them as scrap metal.
The conviction has drawn attention to concerns over the theft and destruction of public infrastructure in Ghana, particularly the removal of road and pedestrian safety installations for financial gain.
The case involving Strika highlights the legal consequences of stealing public property and damaging government infrastructure, as authorities continue efforts to protect public facilities across the country.
The seven-year prison sentence means the former child actor, who gained recognition for his performance in Beasts of No Nation, will now serve time for the offence.
Striker, known for his role in Hollywood movie ‘Beasts of No Nation’, has allegedly been caught by some residents of Kwashieman cutting metal parts from a footbridge, reportedly intending to sell them as scrap.
