Court orders arrest of Wisa
A circuit court in Accra has ordered the arrest of Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa, a hip life artiste for failing to appear before it.
Wisa is being held for allegedly exposing his penis while performing at the Accra International Conference Centre on December 24, last year.
A bench warrant was issued for his arrest because when the matter was called, Wisa, the Ekiki Mi Hit maker was not in court, while his counsel or his representative was also not present.
He has, however, denied a charge of gross indecent exposure and he is on an GH¢8,000 bail with one surety.
But minutes after the court had adjourned the matter to February 12, Wisa was seen in the company of his lawyer, Mr Jerry Avenorgbo heading towards the court in a bid to relinquish the warrant issued.
However, on reaching the courtroom, the prosecutor, Detective Inspector Judith B. Asante and the case investigator had left the court premises.
The court had scheduled to watch the alleged video of Wisa’s performance on December 24, last year, as Detective Chief Inspector Edward Agyei Odame gave evidence to the court.
At the last sitting, Prosecuting Chief Inspector J. B. Asante told the Court that on December 25, the Accra Regional Police was alerted over a nude video posted on the internet from an unknown source in which a popular Ghanaian artiste identified as Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa Creg, intentionally exposed his penis to the audience while performing live on stage at AICC.
According to the prosecutor, Wisa was seen dancing with a female dancer.
Chief Inspector Asante said the Police contacted the managers of Ashe to produce him at the Regional Police headquarters for investigations and they did.
Prosecution said investigations into the matter disclosed that on December 24, Airtel Communications Company and Citi FM, an Accra based radio station, organised an event dubbed: “December to Remember,” with the accused as a guest artiste.
During the course of the show, the accused while dancing with a female dancer identified as Monica Kumadeh, suddenly removed his penis out of his pair of jeans and began to caress the buttock of the dancer to the glare of the audience.
