Multiple award-winning Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese is demanding $1M compensation for the humiliation he suffered under the Ghana Police.
Nine (9) years ago Kwaw was arrested and convicted for narcotics offences after being caught smoking marijuana in public in 2015 somewhere in Kumasi.
Speaking about the past event on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, the rapper said he would communicate with his lawyers and seek compensation of about $1 million for the blot in his career, noting that “These things have dawned on me recently, Ghana has not been fair to me.”
Explaining his reasons for saying this he said;
“Even with mine they don’t have any proof that I was doing that. There’s no shot that they could show that to say ‘we saw Kwaw Kese doing this’. It’s a hearsay and I was jailed for it. They don’t have any picture to prove it.”
“This is the same Ghana, the same police that arrested me are now bodyguarding with guns, guarding somebody who is not a Ghanaian to smoke in public and it is live on video and everything and that person goes scot-free,” he alleged.
Popularly called ‘Abodam’ stated that not only was he arrested for “unnecessary reasons” but it put a huge stain on his name.
“I have proof, I have evidence that shows that other foreign nationals have come to do the same thing I was jailed for. If this is how it is, then I have to be compensated for the disgrace and what they did to me and my name,” Kwaw Kese added.
Kwaw Kese was tried for narcotic offences and was sentenced to a day’s imprisonment and a fine of GHȼ1,200 in 2015.
