He recounted how the King usually made his residence and vehicles available for use in movie productions.
“That man has helped us a lot; he has helped the movie industry a lot. I don’t care what people say about him. People don’t know, he has invested in and sponsored films in Ghana. What I know him for is the fact that he has helped the industry, he’s given his house for us to shoot films, and he’s given his cars for us to shoot,” Adjorlolo said.
The Igbo King became a subject of public debate following a recent incident at the Manhyia Palace.
