The actor was acting on the set for an upcoming movie, Kakai Soldier, with other casts such as Kyeiwaa and Vivian Okyere among others at the Njul Guest House in Mankrong Nkwanta in the Agona East Constituency when the incident took place.


According to sources, he didn’t know how to swim and was made to shoot in the pool until he started gasping for breath.

Dabo is one of Ghana’s smallish actors who are doing very well for themselves.

He is popularly known for his performance in the movie, 'Me Gye Wo Girl', by Media5 Promotions.

It would have been a big blow to the local Twi movie industry had anything happen to him
