Ghanaian actress, Gloria Sarfo, has accused the organizers of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) of allegedly providing fake flight tickets to Ghanaian filmmakers invited to attend the event in Nigeria on an all-expenses-paid basis.
In a video sighted by Zionfelix.net, Sarfo explained that she, along with other prominent industry figures such as Pascal Amanfo, Abdul Salam Mumuni, Akorfa Adjeani, and Julia Appiah, was left stranded and embarrassed at the airport when they found they were not listed in the airline’s system.
Sarfo noted that the invitation had promised a fully covered trip, including flight details and an itinerary. However, upon arriving at the airport, they received no communication from AMAA and soon discovered they had no confirmed flights.
Frustrated by the situation, Sarfo stated that they would have arranged their own tickets if they had been informed, but they relied on the AMAA invitation, which was supposed to cover all expenses. The incident caused her to miss a feature film project, a set engagement, a premiere, and another awards event.
Reflecting on the record of Nigerian organizers, who often prioritize the comfort of their guests with hassle-free travel, accommodation, and even payments, Sarfo expressed disappointment that this respect was not reciprocated.
Gloria Sarfo called for an apology from AMAA and urged the Ghanaian film industry to speak up against such treatment.
