Ghanaian actress and brand influencer Efia Odo has explained why she was absent at the #fixthecountry nothing that she was threatened by some unknown persons.
Although the actress didn’t mention names as to who threatened her but her comments insinuated that the person(s) was a sympathizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM, she disclosed that she got death threats just because she spoke about the current administration.
“I started to get death threats because I was speaking about the sitting government. They said they would throw acid on my face if I come to the demonstration.
I don’t know who it is, but I was getting the calls. Even members of the FixTheCountry group convergers were getting calls. They even played it on air. My Facebook got hacked. I no longer have my Facebook fan page,” she bemoaned.
The actress disclosed that she lost trust as far as anything connected to Ghana was concerned nothing that she couldn’t make a formal report on the case for fear of her life because she didn’t know who liked her or didn’t.
Report to the police? No, I’m sorry. I didn’t. I don’t trust anything and anybody in this country. If I reported, I didn’t know what will happen. And because of that, I didn’t stay home for almost two months.
“Apart from the attacks I was getting, what really made me stop was my mom called me Ghana time 5 am. She called me crying. She said she knows I mean well, but this thing I am doing is a dangerous game. So I should stop. People in America were asking if she doesn’t love her child? So my mom literally cried on the phone for one hour, begging me not to do this anymore.” she stated.
She added that her mom is the reason she stopped participating in the #fixthecountry demonstration.
