As his former colleague, he alleged that the show's famed bellboy had been demanding money from the guests.

"When we asked him to investigate certain issues brought to the show, we got reports that he was demanding money from the guests. In one incident, he demanded GH¢500 from one of our guests. And we at Sompa Nkomo are not meant to be taken money for doing these things."
