In an interview with Zionfelix, Sheikh recounted the hardships he faced before securing a factory job in Libya, where his role involved loading blocks onto vehicles.
However, his time in Libya was marked by two traumatic incidents that changed his life forever.
Sheikh recalled a workplace accident in 2005 that resulted in the loss of two fingers.
“I was arranging about 1,000 blocks on a tractor. While closing the vehicle, I accidentally inserted my fingers, and someone unknowingly pressed a button. The switch cut off my two fingers. I was lucky because it could have been my whole hand. Although I received medical treatment, the damage was permanent,” he explained in Twi.
In another harrowing incident, Sheikh recounted being electrocuted while working on a transformer.
“I went to switch on a transformer, and it exploded in my face, electrocuting me. That’s when I lost all my hair and became permanently bald,” he shared.
Despite these life-altering experiences, Sheikh has risen above the challenges and built a stable life.
He now runs businesses in both Italy and Germany, which provide him with financial stability.
