Ghanaian actor, Don Little, has revealed he narrowly avoided arrest during a recent stopover in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In a video sighted by Zionfelix.net, the diminutive actor recounted the ordeal, explaining that his trouble began before leaving Ghana. Because he was rushing to meet his check-in deadline, he was unable to convert his Ghanaian cedis into foreign currency.
Upon landing in Addis Ababa, Don Little said hunger set in quickly. Desperate for food yet without usable cash, he approached a man at the airport and politely asked if he could lend him some Ethiopian birr in exchange for cedis. Instead of helping, the stranger accused him of trying to scam or steal and threatened to alert the police.

“Within minutes, he was calling me a thief,” Don Little recalled, noting that the confrontation drew attention from bystanders. Fortunately, another traveller recognised him from his movies and intervened, defusing the situation before officers arrived.
Reflecting on the scare, the actor urged fellow Ghanaians to exchange their cedis before boarding international flights to avoid similar embarrassment. He added that an arrest might have fueled damaging rumours, saying false accusations could easily have overshadowed the real story.
