“What really happened was at the time of Akan Drama, I was single, I was about forty years old. My first marriage had hit the rocks.
I needed someone to protect me as a woman. Men were chasing me.
When ever we go on tour, in Kumasi, they stood on story-buildings to adore me. Women liked me and almost all the men like me.
“I thought here was Ghana so [David Dontoh] he really likes me. When we started the series he couldn’t touch me. He was always shaking when he’s to touch me in the movie,” she narrated.
Maame Dokono revealed that David Dontoh hid it from her when he planned to walk down the aisle with another woman.
“I dated Ghana Man until he married. Before the marriage they kept their relationship secret from me. He was scared I could have dealt with them.”
