When explaining how he has been able to live rent-free in Accra, Akrobeto said that he was moved out of his hometown in 1979 by renowned engineer Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo and spent a significant amount of time living in his home without having to pay rent.

The renowned actor added that even after leaving Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo’s residence, his new landlord refused to collect rent from him.

In an exclusive interview with Precise FM, Akrobeto gave an explanation.

“I didn’t have anything of my own. My family was very poor. When I completed Form 4 in the year 1979, Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo sent someone to come for me from my village to stay with him in Accra.”

And I stayed with him for a very long time without paying a dime because of my humility and honesty. Even in times when I moved out, anytime, I pay rent, strangely, the landlords either return my money or refuse to accept it,”

Akrobeto said that Apostle Kwadwo Sarfo has been a source of wisdom and inspiration to him. He continued by saying that the man of God had taught him the importance of remaining trustworthy and humble.
