Wisa Greid
Hip life Musician Eugene Ashie popularly known as Wisa Greid in a bid to avoid a bench warrant being issued against him for the third consecutive time, on Thursday shocked all when he appeared in court hours before hearing of his case started.
Wisa was uncharacteristically present in court by 9:00am even though the case against him was scheduled to be heard at 11:00 am.
An Accra Circuit Court presided over by Abena Agyin Doku a fortnight ago had to rescind its bench warrant issued for the arrest of the Hiplife artiste after the musician was absent in court at the beginning of proceedings.
His lawyer Jerry Avenorgbor, had to rush to court to apologize on behalf of musician and pleaded with the Judge to rescind the decision. That was the second time a bench warrant had been issued against Wisa.
Kasapa FM’s Court Correspondent, Daakyehene Ofosu Agyemang, reports that when the case was called today (Thursday 7th April) the witness presented by the prosecution, Detective Inspector J.B Asante an Airtel staff told the court that he was not at the event where Wisa is alleged to have showed his manhood.
The prosecution then pleaded with the court to allow him produce another witness who was part of the event organizers to testify in the case.
The Judge Abena Agyin Doku granted the request and further adjourned the case to April 27.
FACTS OF THE CASE
Wisa Gried is standing trial for gross indecent exposure, a charge he has plead not guilty to.
He did probably the weirdest act by a Ghanaian performing artist when midway through his performance at the December 2 Remember concert last year, he pulled out his manhood on stage and thrusted it behind a lady dancer.
His lawyer Jerry Avenorgbor, has stated that the musician displayed a fake penis on stage while performing at the event. He argued that what the artiste did was for the “beauty of entertainment” but the public failed to appreciate that.
Wisa’s disgraceful act was greeted with public condemnation by a large section of the citizenry who were utterly shocked by his actions. He, as well as his management team immediately apologized to Ghanaians for his indecent behaviour.
The ‘Ekiki me’ hit singer was arrested by the police and questioned for showing his penis at the event, following which he was later granted bail.
