Agradaa, in a video seen by YEN.com.gh, said that as a young person, her dream was to join the security agencies, particularly either the Ghana Armed Forces or the Ghana Police Service.

She claimed that she was very vocal about this dream as a child, which led to her father calling her ‘my little soldier'.

"My dream job as a child was to become a soldier or a police officer. That was the only job I wanted to do as a child, so my father often called me a soldier.” she said.
