Ghanaian/Nollywood actor Van Vicker blast
Ghana Actors Guild (GAG) who he said
abandoned him after he had a leg injury
during a friendly match between Ghana and
Nigeria at Kumasi Sports Stadium in March.
While Expressing his pains and anger, he said:
’I was first admitted at Sunshine Hospital in
Ghana and later transferred to United states of
America where I am still receiving medical
treatment, but had to come to Ghana to
continue with my movie shoot, and then go
back for check- up,’‘I believe one of the
responsibilities of the Guild is to support its
members, or support the interest of Ghanaian
actors... Keep reading
I am a member of GAG and that was why I
went to play for the Guild and also to
represent Ghana in the name of the Guild. I
was told that the match was to celebrate
Ghana’s Independence Day and if for nothing
at all, the Guild should have shown concern,’ I
think it is a sign of ingratitude, because it’s
just like going to work for a friend and getting
injured in the process and the friend turns
deaf ears to how you are recovering’.
Meanwhile, The President of Ghanaian Actors
Guild also told his part of the story. He said
Van Vicker's story was untrue:
‘I personally called Van Vicker and I also
‘WhatsApped’ him to check up on him because
I was also sick that time and I couldn’t play
active role in the match. I was frequently
checking up on him, as well as actress, Emelia
Brobbey, who did that on our behalf’ he
responded. He added that ‘If Mr Van Vicker is
criticising the Guild because we didn’t support
in payment of his bills, for that I admit and all
I can say about it is that, our members don’t
pay their dues for us to be able to support any
member in cash. We would have supported
him if we had the cash.’
