Wisa is ill – Defence Counsel tells court

Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa, a hiplife artiste who is being tried for allegedly displaying his penis on stage, has taken ill.

Defence Counsel Jerry Avernogbor, told an Accra Circuit Court that the accused mother informed him this morning that Wisa had been vomiting since last night and as such was unable to attend court.

Counsel therefore prayed the court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku for a short adjournment.

The court obliged to the request of the defence counsel and adjourned the matter to May 23.

Wisa, of the Ekikimi fame, is being held for allegedly exposing his penis while performing at the Accra International Conference Centre on December 24, last year.

He has, however, denied a charge of gross indecent exposure and is on a GH¢8,000 bail with one surety.

At the last sitting of the court, the Prosecutor said 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 while performing live on stage.

According to the prosecutor Detective Inspector Judith B. Asante said the Police contacted the managers of Ashe to produce him at the Regional Police Headquarters for investigations and they did.

The prosecution said investigations into the matter disclosed that on December 24, Airtel Communications Company and Citifm, an Accra based radio station, organised an event dubbed: “December to Remember,” which included 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 buttocks of the dancer.
