– –<\/span><\/p>\nThe affair resulted in the conception and birth of Agya Koo whose birth date is\u00a0May 25, 1969.<\/p>\n
Explaining why he was absent from their life, he noted that after she informed him of the outcome of their encounter, Agya Koo\u2019s mother disappeared, leaving no trace of their whereabouts.<\/p>\n
He revealed that he had no idea that Agya Koo was his son until recently when he saw him on television.<\/p>\n
\u201cI only heard that she had given birth and named him Kofi Adu, only for me to see him on television as Agya Koo. I just knew that he was my son because of certain characteristics and traits he exhibits,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
While the claims made by Mr Bediako have yet to be confirmed, they have certainly sparked a lot of interest and speculation on social media.<\/p>\n
Asked why he\u2019s waited all this while to finally disclose his identity the aged man said he had avoided the encounter because he was shy.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n\u201cIf I met him today, I\u2019ll jump and hug him as my son but I\u2019ve never reached out because I was shy and afraid. I did not want it to look like I was chasing him because of his pedigree in life,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
Mr Bediako\u2019s startling revelations\u00a0has raised several questions online including the whereabouts of Agya Koo\u2019s mother and the circumstances leading to her raising Agya Koo as a single mother.<\/p>\n
Previously, the veteran actor had come out to deny a 50-year-old woman who claimed to be his biological mother on a radio station in the Ashanti region.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the matter, he said\u00a0\u201cMy mother died 7 years ago\u2026I don\u2019t know that lady\u201d<\/p>\n
Others have also interrogated the matter and questioned if Agya Koo was aware of his biological father\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n
The \u201cAway Bus\u201d actor who hails from the Ashanti Region of Ghana rarely speaks about his personal life.<\/p>\n
However, he has shared in the past that he resided\u00a0in Asantewaa, a suburb of Accra Newtown, where he earned his livelihood as a cobbler.<\/p>\n
