Kwaw Kese sentenced to a day's imprisonment
Controversial Ghanaian rapper, Kwaw Kese, who was
tried for narcotic offences has been sentenced to
day's imprisonment.
He will also pay a fine of GHc1,200.
A Kumasi High Court gave the ruling Thursday after
a number of adjournments, following the rapper's
arrest by police in Kumasi on November 22, 2014.
The controversial rapper was arrested for
allegedly smoking cannabis in public and was
remanded into prison after making an appearance in
court.
He was whisked away into a police van and sent to
the Kumasi Central Prison which served as his new
home until he was granted bail on December 30 on
health grounds.
The court, presided over by Judge William Boampong
granted him 80,000 Ghana cedis bail with one
surety to be justified.
After the bail, Kwao Kese popularly called
'Abodam' has been playing advocacy roles in the
call for decongesting the country's prisons and
also to improve conditions over there.
On Thursday April 23 however the court finally
reached a verdict. Judge William Boampong
sentenced "Abodam" to a day's imprisonment and a
fine of 1,200.
Should he default in paying the fine, "Abodam"
will go to prison for three years with hard
labour.
Myjoyonline.com sources say the rapper and his
managers have already paid the fine and the rapper
is currently serving his prison sentence.
Friday morning, Kwaw Kesse will be a free man.
