He recounted that Strika was discovered at the beach, where he and other boys engaged in boxing matches for money. Strika's unique appearance caught their attention, leading to his casting in the film *Beasts of No Nation*.
At the time of casting, Strika was homeless and had to be traced to his extended family in Koforidua for consent before filming. The team had plans to support Strika after the production, including enrolling him in school, but the young actor repeatedly ran away. Despite efforts to guide and support him, Strika was later found back on the streets, granting interviews and making claims against the production team.
The situation became complicated when Strika's family became involved over financial matters, eventually reporting the case to the police. Following police directives, the team handed over money and other benefits, including a car registered in Strika's name, to the family.
