Diminutive Ghanaian actor Yaw Dabo nearly drowned in a swimming pool on Tuesday, according to reports.

The actor was acting on the set of an upcoming movie titled Kakai Soldier. He was on set with actors like Kyeiwaa and Vivian Okyere at the Njul Guest House in Mankrong Nkwanta in the Agona East District when the incident happened.

It is really not clear what exactly happened but a source from the set told NEWS-ONE on Tuesday afternoon that some crew members went to his rescue.

According to the source, he didn’t know how to swim and was made to shoot in the pool until he started gasping for breath.

Dabo is one of Ghana’s smallish actors who are doing very well for themselves.

He is popularly known for his performance in the movie, Me Gyewu Girl, by Media5 Promotions.
