Kofi Ajorlolo reveals how Ghana producers banned him from acting for two years (VIDEO)

• Kofi Ajorlolo has revealed that Ghanaian film producers once imposed a two-year ban on him, preventing him from working on local productions.

• The veteran actor said the ban had little impact on his career because Nigerian producers continued to contact him and seek his involvement in their projects.

• Ajorlolo said the restriction was eventually lifted after six to eight months, with the producers asking him to return to work.

Speaking in a recent interview, Ajorlolo said the decision effectively shut him out of opportunities within Ghana’s film industry. He described himself as a “sacrificial lamb” in the dispute, suggesting that the action against him was intended to send a broader message.

However, the actor said the restriction had little effect on his career because Nigerian filmmakers continued to seek his services.

According to Ajorlolo, producers in Nigeria were actively contacting him and competing to have him appear in their projects even while he was being excluded from Ghanaian productions.
