Last week, Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh announced his exit from popular TV series Tinsel. Attoh who plays the role of ‘Kwame Mensah’, says he is leaving to pursue other career interests.
‘The last seven years on Tinsel have been an incredible journey and experience for me. Working with M-Net was phenomenal and it took a lot of deliberation but I have decided to pursue other career interests‘, Attoh revealed in a statement through a South Africa based management, Waka Talent.

Attoh, we are told is leaving the M-NET produced show to further a career in TV and movie production. He worked as a reporter and TV host before delving into acting.
Meanwhile, another popular face at Tinsel Gbenro Ajibade has been suspended from the show. Insiders told NET reliably that Ajibade was suspended because he failed to show up on set for a sequence of shoots which involved his character ‘Soji Bankole.’

Apparently, Gbenro traveled to the US for the Africa Fashion Week New York where he worked as a runway model. According to inside sources, he was well aware of his pending role at Tinsel but still decided to travel out of the country.

‘Gbenro knew he had roles to play but categorically told us he was still going to travel‘, a source who works in production says.
It is unclear when exactly his suspension took effect.
Calls and E-mails put through to the actor were not replied. A director on the series George Kura also did not respond to his phone calls.
