I am staying in Tamale in the Northern region,” he told Asempa FM on the Sports Nite Program.
“I am now a farmer growing maize and other stuff; I don’t need money and the decision was purely personal.
“I have buses working for me but I decided to get myself occupied with something and farming for me, was the best thing,” he added.
“What I can remember is that I was very benevolent. It was not like I went to church or mosque but if I noticed those around me were in difficulty, I came to their aid to out smiles on their face.
