Veteran Highlife musician, Obuoba J.A. Adofo, says he once slept by a refuse dump all night to avoid a robbery.
The artist shared his experience while recalling his saddest day in his musical journey.
According to the musician, he had traveled to Agege, a suburb of Lagos State in Nigeria, to purchase a car – Mitsubishi.
J.A. Adofo revealed that they were compelled to spend the night in a hotel, since the company had closed when they arrived.
The musician decided to spend the night at a refuse dump because he was told the hotel was noted for robbery attacks.
“Some two Ghanaians I met advised me not to sleep at the hotel because it was notorious for robberies. Out of fear, I took a blanket and moved down to a refuse dump by the side of the hotel where I spent the night till the next day”, he disclosed.
He declined the offer to stay in the home of the Ghanaians for fear of being swindled by them.
The veteran musician said the hotel was robbed as predicted.
“True to the words of his Ghanaian acquaintances, the whole hotel was robbed that night”, he disclosed.
The legendary artiste explained that the man who led him and his manager to Nigeria had actually connived with the armed robbers to rob him.
