I contemplated taking my life while in prison – Olympiakos Nicosia midfielder Kingsley Sarfo
1 min read
Olympiakos Nicosia midfielder Kingsley Sarfo has revealed he contemplated committing suicide following his wrongful imprisonment in Sweden three years ago.
The Ghana international was released two years ago on the ground of good conduct following his incarceration over a rape accusation which he vehemently denies.
The 26-year-old went through mental torture after he was released from prison.
He was jailed for two years and eight months in the European country for two child rape counts, a Malmo District Court ruled in June 2018 but his appeal to have the sentence overturned was rejected five months later.
The former Malmo FF star has disclosed the situation led to serious negative consequences – as he contemplated taken his life.
“I contemplated committing suicide. I went through hell and I am happy to be back playing football,” he told Pure FM’s Bright Kankam Boadu
“It got to a point that you feel like ending your life. But I am grateful for the opportunity to be here.
“I went through emotional torture. I have overcome the trauma and looking forward to continuing my career.”
