Popular Kumawood actor Osofo Moses, real name Charles Kofi-Ntim, has debunked rumours about his arrest and imprisonment which made news on social media.

According to him, the news was entirely false as he was never arrested or imprisoned.

In an interview with actor Kwaku Manu, Osofo Moses explained that the picture of him in handcuffs and prison attire was taken during a movie shoot.

However, a blogger cropped the image and posted it on social media with misleading commentary, causing the news to spread rapidly.

“I was never arrested, I never went to prison. The news was everywhere that I had been arrested. Everyone who knew me was shocked. Even when I saw the news, I was shocked.

“What happened was that the picture of me in cuffs and prison attire was from a movie shoot. The storyline was that a director was trying to draft a story for a movie where I was arrested. We never even went to a real prison, it was a set, and the attire was fake. The prison officer was an actor. We just took a picture as a reference to use in the movie pitch.

“A blogger had cropped out the picture and posted it on social media with a commentary behind it and the news blew up,” he explained.

Osofo Moses said that he wasn't bothered about the rumours but was concerned about the stress it caused his family and loved ones.

“In this world, people are waiting for something bad to happen to you so that they run with it. I was never even bothered, what hurt me was the stress my family, especially my mother went through when the news broke out.

“I had a friend who had travelled to China who saw the news and quickly called me, he was ready to fly back to Ghana for me. I was getting calls here and there, I couldn’t sleep properly for days,” he said.

Despite the ordeal, he was touched by the outpouring of love and concern from friends and fans.

“When something bad happens, you know those who love you and those who do not. And I saw that a lot of people loved me,” he said.
