In an interview with Sammy Flex of Pluzz FM from the UK. He told the radio host: ” I left Ghana because of the power crisis. I started having problems with lights, I was spending so much money on fuel  because some of us can’t sleep without lights. I was filling my huge plant in addition to my two cars so it was a bit too much for me. I decided to relocate from Ghana and concentrate on my family here in UK ”
