Court remands Medikal for 5 days

Rapper Medikal born, Samuel Frimpong, has been remanded into prison custody.

The “Omo ada” hit maker was arrested yesterday 21th October 2021 for displaying a weapon on social media.

An Accra Circuit Court judge today 22nd October 2021 remanded the artiste to prison custody for five days, after the rapper who has been charged with display of arms and ammunition, pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Atinka News’ Abigail Ahimah, who was in court, reported that Medikal was refused bail although his lawyer, Emmanuel Yeboah Gyan, prayed the court to grant his client bail.

The prosecution however opposed the plea, arguing that the individual rights of Medikal to bail are subservient to the community interest, which ought to be protected.

He further argued that parts of the case are still under investigation.

The prosecution, who presented the statement of the case said

Presenting the statement of the case, the prosecution said Medikal is a popular person and that In September, 2021, whilst in his car, he displayed a Ruger 9mm pistol ”without any reasonable excuse” and posted the video on his snapchat social media platform.
