Kwaw Kese, a Ghanaian musician, has revealed his intention to seek compensation from the Ghana Police Service following his arrest in 2015.
In 2015, Kwaw Kese was apprehended and subsequently imprisoned for allegedly smoking marijuana in public, despite police presence.
Nearly nine years later, Kwaw Kese remains dissatisfied with the treatment he received during his incarceration and is determined to pursue compensation for it.
Speaking on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, he criticized the Ghana Police for what he perceives as unfair treatment, citing instances where others were not prosecuted for similar offenses.
Kwaw Kese asserted that the police lacked evidence at the time of his arrest and conviction, further justifying his demand for compensation.
He said: “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.”
The head of MadTime asserted that his detention was the result of pure conjecture and is seeking a $1 million settlement.
