Why I Can No Longer Contact Abraham Atta – Strika
In a recent interview with content creator Poleeno, Strika opened up about his relationship with fellow child actor and global sensation Abraham Attah.
Both Strika and Attah gained recognition for their roles in the Hollywood-produced film Beasts of No Nation.
However, their paths have diverged since then, with Attah achieving widespread fame through his appearances in big-budget Hollywood movies like Spiderman, while Strika has unfortunately fallen into poverty after mismanaging his finances.
During the conversation with Poleeno, Strika revealed that he no longer has direct contact with Attah due to his elevated status and the people surrounding him.
Strika expressed his difficulty in reaching out to his once-close friend, stating that the only feasible means of communication now is through Attah’s management team.
