Arrested KONA bouncer to face court

KONA Bar Bouncer, Daniel Ablorh, who allegedly assaulted a female customer, Portia Asantewa Duah, is to be arraigned before the court after he was arrested by the Police, Starr News has gathered.

The bouncer who turned himself in at the Osu Police Station has been in detention since Sunday afternoon.

The Incident

Ms Portia Asantewa Duah was with a group of friends at the restaurant and was asked to leave by a bouncer, named BB, who perceived they had not bought drinks and were simply occupying space. One of Miss Duah’s friends explained this was not the case and that they had bought drinks; the waitress had simply cleared their table.

The bouncer did not accept the explanation. Ms Portia approached a waitress and asked for a receipt as evidence of drinks purchased by them.

She began to speak with her friends explaining the incident was embarrassing.

The bouncer told Ms Portia to keep quiet and that he was not speaking with her.

He then slapped her twice across the face. Ms Portia sustained swollen and red eyes from the slap. Her shocked friends approached the manager to relay what had happened. The Manager’s response was that they should let the incident go.

Meanwhile, the bar has since apologized over the incident in a Facebook post. “We, the Managment of Kona Cafe and Grill sincerely apologize to our cherished customers for the unwarranted behavior of our bouncer last night.

“We wish to bring to the attention of our customers that we do not condone the behaviour of our staff especially violence against women, as that does not reflect the values of our establishment, And as such, take full responsibility for his actions. We plead with the general public to forgive us our failings, We learn from such experiences.

“We acknowledge the distress and embarrassment caused to our customers and we have already taken the necessary disciplinary actions against him.

“We apologise once again and promise that such an incident will not occur again.”
