Singer, King David Arrested

Guitarist cum high life musician King David David of ‘Aye fe Notse’ fame, was last Saturday arrested and detained at the Adabraka Police station in Accra for allegedly assaulting a policeman on duty, police sources have told News-one.

King David, according to the source, was eventually bailed by his manager, Kwasi Ernest and award winning gospel musician D.S.P Kofi Sarpong of the Ghana Police Service. “The policeman was on duty when his attention was drawn to what looked like a riot situation. When he got there, he found this guy assaulting a fuel attendant and creating so much chaos. He would not even listen to anyone and when the policeman tried to calm the situation, he vented his anger on him and attacked him too, almost beating him up.

“it was only when he was finally grabbed and forced to the police station that it was found that he was King David the musician,” the source revealed. King David’s manager, Kwasi Ernest, when contacted, confirmed that his artiste had indeed been arrested but denied it was because he had assaulted a police officer.

He explained that King David drove into a petrol station to buy fuel but found out that the fuel attendant had cheated him by selling him a lower quantity of fuel than he actually paid for.

He said a mild misunderstanding generated between King David and the petrol attendant and the musician was eventually taken to the police station but was granted bail shortly afterward.
