In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Jacob said his parents never showed him love, which makes it difficult for him to return.
“I did not stay with my parents when I was growing up. My mother made me live with my uncle and his family, and they maltreated me. I moved out of home at 16 and started taking care of myself.”
Jacob added that he hustled to get to Libya and finally travel to Europe. He first landed in Italy and travelled to Germany.
He said he only takes care of his siblings but currently has no intentions of returning to Ghana since his memories of Ghana are not good ones.
