Hip-hop artist Kwaw Kese has voiced his displeasure with the way the police and government handled his detention after he was accused of smoking marijuana in public.
He claimed that the police were unjust by ignoring the crimes he was imprisoned for while they were being committed by others in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz.
He further stated that at the time of his arrest, the police lacked any evidence, and as a result, he is requesting payment from them.
“I have a lot of evidence that shows foreigners doing the same thing I was jailed for. But they don’t have a video of me doing that.
“Yet the foreigner, whose actions were documented on camera, go scot-free with police guarding them to do it in front of everybody.
“You know, I have to be compensated for that disgrace the government put on my name,” he said on Hitz FM.
Kwaw Kese asserts that the police had “nothing to prove” in support of their allegations, saying that his arrest was based only on conjecture.
For this reason, the rapper is requesting $1 million in compensation for the trauma the police caused him to endure.
When Kwaw Kese was discovered using marijuana in 2015, he was fined GH˖1,200 and given a day in prison.
