Popular Kumawood actor and skitmaker Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, popularly known as Ras Nene or Dr Likee, has commended renowned businessman Ibrahim Mahama for coming to the aid of Suzy Pinamang, the Bantama SDA SHS student who was accidentally shot.
In a recent interview with popular blogger Poleeno Multimedia, the comic actor praised the Engineers and Planners CEO for reaching out to Suzy’s family and funding the young girl’s eye surgery.
He noted that Ibrahim Mahama deserved a statue for helping Suzy Pinamang and many others who have faced significant challenges in their lives over the years.
He said:
“Our father (Ibrahim Mahama) has really done well. Let us build a statue of him if it is possible, because he has helped people in their time of need. He has not done it only once, but many times.”
Dr Likee also called on Ghanaians to pray for Suzy Pinamang’s recovery from the eye injury that has taken a toll on her and her family in recent months.
The Kumawood actor’s remarks come after Ibrahim Mahama flew Suzy and her family from Kumasi to Accra for eye surgery at Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital on Monday, May 5, 2025.
Videos that emerged on social media showed Suzy Pinamang being escorted by her brother and Ibrahim Mahama’s special aide, Rafik Mahama, getting evaluated by doctors after she arrived at the medical facility.
