Broadcaster Kwame Tanko has disclosed that Beasts of No Nation actor Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye, commonly known as Strika, is at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison.
Kwame Tanko, speaking on his broadcast on Monday, October 26, 2026, disclosed that he encountered Strika while visiting the imprisoned former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP Chairman Wontumi.
According to Kwame Tanko, he was struck by how active Strika appeared.
It will be recalled that reports emerged some months ago that Strika was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.
Reports disclosed Strika was sentenced following his appearance before an Accra court over the vandalism and theft of parts of the Kwashieman pedestrian bridge.
The development follows Strika, who was busted while attempting to steal metal railings at the Kwashieman footbridge in Accra.
According to reports, Strika was caught by some residents of Kwashieman cutting metal parts from a footbridge, reportedly intending to sell them as scrap.
In a viral video shared on social media on Saturday, August 29, 2026, Strika was captured being confronted by a group of residents.
Meanwhile, Strika was widely known for his role as a child soldier in Beasts of No Nation, where he starred alongside acclaimed British actor Idris Elba.
Reports suggest Strika was paid $30,000 for Beasts of No Nation, the same amount as Abraham Attah, as 1% of profits.
Mawuko Kuadzi, the casting director, confirmed this repeatedly, revealing that the money was held in a Barclays trust due to his age and situation.
Reports suggest Strika later accessed the funds, including GHC 40k in 2019. His later struggles stem from other factors, not non-payment.
The development has triggered a mixture of disappointment and debate online, particularly because of Strika’s outstanding rise to fame at a young age.
