Veteran comedian, Ghana Boy Is Dead
Veteran Ghanaian comedian Ghana Boy also known in private life as Samuel Otto has died. He passed on at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi on the Sunday January 10, 2021. It is not known what caused Ghana Boy’s demise but a report indicates that the comedian passed after a short illness. Ghana Boy was
one of the stars of the once popular television show, Key Soap Concert Party. He then competed with and performed alongside legendary comedians like Bob Okala, Bob Santo, Nkomode and Agya Koo. It will be recalled that Ghana Boy in an interview in 2018 narrated that his eye problem started in 2007 and had eventually
rendered him completely blind. My living condition is very bad and many people have neglected me because of my blindness. I don’t have a place to live and even what to eat is also a problem for me, he said. To him, he could still pursue a career in acting or work with any radio station willing to offer him job opportunities. I am
blind but my senses work correctly and can do many other jobs like acting movies, being on radio, I can do all these things, he said. Ghana Boy therefore appealed to individuals and management of radio stations directors and producers of movies to engage him since he still has the skills. But it looks like that help did not come as he was not spotted in any movies until his demise.
