Strika’s Story Isn’t Over – Ama K. Abebrese

Actress and filmmaker Ama K. Abebrese remains hopeful for the future of actor Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye, also known as Strika, despite his reported seven-year prison sentence. Ama K Abebrese, who has offered to assist the 'Beasts of No Nation' star, expressed her desire for his current situation not to define the remainder of his story.

In a video shared on X on September 16, 2026, the actress revealed that she had previously attempted to contact Strika following the viral incident of his alleged involvement in the theft of metal railings. Alas, she was unable to reach him. Ama K Abebrese expressed her willingness to continue offering her support to the actor post-prison.

"I’m just hoping that he comes out of this. I’m hoping this is not the end of his story, and he’s gonna go on to greener pastures," she said. She further stated that her offer to support Strika remains valid. "That offer still stands, and hopefully, after the time that he spends in prison, we’ll see how best we can support him," she added.

Strika gained international recognition following his portrayal in the 2015 Hollywood film 'Beasts of No Nation'. However, his life has since been fraught with various difficulties. On August 29, 2026, Strika's name became widely known due to a video allegedly featuring him in possession of metal railings at the Kwashieman footbridge in Accra, which circulated on social media.

Subsequently, an audio recording attributed to the actor surfaced, in which he claimed a seven-year prison sentence. For Ama K. Abebrese, the sentence ought not to be seen as the last chapter in Strika's life.
