In 2011, Emmanuel graduated from the Kadjebi Asato Senior High School with flying colours but could not make it into any tertiary institution for a lack of financial support.
In the interim, the brilliant young man let go of his medical ambition and joined Obrad Security Service in 2015 after which he was posted to the SSNIT Pension House in Accra.
