Remember Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye? Well, his name may not ring a bell, but movie fans will undoubtedly remember the youngster who played ‘Striker’, the mute kid, in Beast of No Nation. Despite playing in the award-winning Hollywood movie, the kid now begs on the streets of Ghana for survival.

This was shared on Facebook by one Caleb Boye, who ran into Striker in Accra.

Narrating his story, Striker told Caleb he “works with a gentleman who sells Yam at Agbogbloshie Market”.

He wrote,

I am sad this morning.
I was heading to the Ghana Institute of Journalism campus and I met Striker. You would ask who is Striker? Striker starred in the movie Beast of No Nations. The said film that made Abraham Attah.
Today I met him begging for money on the road leading to GIJ. I called him and brought him to campus.
Speaking to him he tells me he now works with a gentleman who sells Yam at Agbogbloshie Market
He stays with his grandma at North Kaneshie.

The fabled ‘Beast of No Nation’ took Abraham Attah, who played Agu, to international stardom.

In an interview with Serwaa Amihere of GhOneTv, Strika revealed that all the kids who shot the movie have been well taken care of except him, in terms of payment.

He further stated that

“ I was told I was paid 30,000 but I don’t know if it was in cedis or dollars. I was a child then, so the producer by name Zoey, opened the account for me.

I have stopped schooling because it’s difficult for me hence I want to learn a trade, so I left Cape-coast to Accra. My parents are dead so I stay with my grand mum who takes care of me”
