Popular Ghanaian actor, Akwesi Boadi aka Akrobeto has taken a swipe at people correlating the current rampant celebrity deaths in Ghana with spirituality.
Prophet Samuel Baffour of El Shaddai Prayer Center and Rev.Isaac Owusu Bempah, who is also the leader and founder of the Glorious Word Ministry International have made shocking prophecies that, most Ghanaian celebrities especially those in the creative Arts industry were going to die prematurely before 2016 ends.
However, eight months into 2016, the Ghanaian showbiz industry has already lost seven celebrities in the Creative Arts industry like Bob Okalla, Daasebre Gyamenah, Nkomode and George Williams.
Most showbiz enthusiasts and the general public are correlating the deaths of these departed celebrities with the prophecies made by the pastors.
Expressing his view on the issue, veteran Kumawood actor Akrobeto, rebutted those assumptions by indicating that celebrities are not the only human beings dying in Ghana.
In an interview with Dr.Who on an Accra-based radio station, he said, "It's very sad when I hear people saying there is something spiritual behind the current rampant celebrity deaths. My brother, there is nothing spiritual about it. Go to Korle-Bu or Komfo Anokye hospitals and see the number of people who die daily. Are they also spiritual?
"Death is inevitable just that when a celebrity dies, it is being published by the media making it look as if celebrities are the only people dying which is very wrong No..celebrities are not the only people dying in Ghana," Akrobeto passionately opined.
Akrobeto who shot to fame through the "Key Soap Concert Party" entertainment show advised his colleagues in the industry to regularly go for medical check-ups.
