Strika's breakthrough with Abraham Attah in Beast Of No Nations

Strika got his big break when he was picked from the streets to play the role in the movie in 2015. He played the role alongside Abraham Attah who was known as Agu in the movie.

Abraham Attah has gone on to become a Hollywood movie star. He is currently studying at Tufts University in the United States.

Strika, on the other hand, has remained a street boy with his living standards not changing despite being given a decent pay cheque for his role.

In an interview Strika granted, he revealed that $30,000 was paid to his handlers at the time of the movie, but he did not receive a penny.

The actor's family came out to clarify the issue, saying the young man did not want to go to school as he dropped out and ran from home.

According to him, Strika is a young man who only needs the right guidance to bounce back after faltering.

"For me, Strika's story is disheartening but it is not all over for him. He obviously has the talent of acting in him and with the right guidance, he can still have a good career.

"He may not become a Hollywood star like his friend, Abraham Attah, but with good management, he can act and take himself off the streets," he suggested.
