Agya Koo details his struggles in Accra

Agya Koo detailed that his stay in Accra was not an easy one. According to him, when he arrived in Accra, he had nowhere to go and a place to sleep, so he survived by sleeping on empty boxes at Accra New Town.

The successful actor added that after his years of homelessness, he relocated to a house owned by a Ghanaian man overseas with his friends, who were also from Kumasi.

From there, he got a recommendation for Concert Party, the entertainment show that started his acting career.
