Although information about Bernard Nyarko’s death is scanty, there are reports he battled ‘unknown’ illness and became a full-time pastor.
Exactly a month ago, he was reported to have said he has quit acting and nothing will make him rescind the decision.
Bishop Nyarko, in a viral video was heard telling his congregation that he has decided to follow the steps of actor Majid Michelle, stressing that the movie industry is full of evil.
“I have stopped because it’s full of evil. Every day, you would meet different people; every day, you would see different girls. All of them want you to become their friends and some of them are coming from the marine sea, they should take their movie,” he said.
