In an interview with SVTV Africa, the former teacher said his salary in Ghana at the time was not enough so he spent what his siblings sent for their projects.

“If I received the money, I spent it. I spent all the money they gave me for a building project or car purchase. At the time, we thought it was easy to make money abroad. I was a teacher and I got used to the comfortable life. My salary was not enough for me so I even sold my father’s car and wasted the money.

“I was a bad boy. I spent some of the money my siblings sent for projects on women and other things. I was a bother to my family,” he added.

Andrew leaves Ghana for Russia

When Andrew heard that some of his siblings were coming to Ghana, he decided to leave the country so he does not meet them. He decided to travel to Russia.

“So when my siblings said they were coming to Ghana, I had to flee because I could not face them. I rented out my sibling’s house and fled to Russia. It was visa-free.”

He went to Russia after he applied for a school and later moved to Germany. However, he could not stay in Germany for long and moved back to Russia.

He went back to school in Russia and even dated his lecturer at the time.
