A Ghanaian filmmaker by name, Kofi Yeboah, has revealed that he would be using the 19 years sad prison story of ex-convict, Nana Akwasi Agyemang popularly known as Geeman, for a movie.

In 1995, Nana Akwasi Agyemang aka Geeman, shot and killed a taxi driver at Dome in Accra – following an argument over payment of taxi fare. The taxi driver had been hired by Nadia, a female friend of Gemann from Odorkor to Geeman’s home in Dome. According to Nadia, the fare agreed upon was 3,000 cedis (now 3p) while the taxi driver said it was 4,000 cedis (now 4p).

Gemann accused the Taxi Driver of overcharging an actress who was visiting him for a movie project. He refused to pay the driver the amount the latter charged and that led to a misunderstanding between them.

The driver came back later and collected a patch of sand from a spot where Gemann was previous standing, supposedly for black magic purposes. Gemann got offended, ran into his room and brought out a pistol with which he shot the taxi driver – after giving a warning shot.

Jagger Pee, a close pal to Geeman, was alleged to have hassled the taxi driver and was holding him before the shooting. After police investigations and court trial, Jaggar Pee was convicted for abetment of crime and was given a life sentence and Gemann sentenced to death for murder.

Nadia and another lady, Vida, who was at Gemann’s residence at the time of the incident, were discharged by the court. The third person, identified only as Kwame is still on the run.

By work of destiny, Gemann went into custody on the 9th of January, 1995 and was set free on the 9th of Jan, 2009 by a Presidential pardon from the then outgoing President, John Agyekum Kuffour; after serving his constitutionally mandated two term of office.

The above true story which happened almost 19 years ago, is to be screen played and used for a blockbuster movie just like the true life story of Ghanaian Takoradi born, Kingsley Ofosu, whose ‘stow away’ story at the Takoradi harbor in 1992, was used by HBO and other Hollywood filmmakers for the movie, ‘Deadly Voyage.’

In Kofi Yeboah’s own words, “I will write a script and use him as the main cast (lead character). I promise it will become a blockbuster movie that can be used to educate, especially, our celebrities to caution their temper as public figures and role models.”

Gemann was the first man in Ghana who won by popular acclamation, the accolade, The ‘Michael Jackson of Ghana.’ He is the first Ghanaian musician to copy the late Michael Jackson’s style of music, stage performance/craft, hair styling and costuming. His music career was largely influenced by the Late King of Pop Music.

While some say Gemann wasted 14 years of his life in prison due to his inability to control his temper over a petty issue, Gemann has said on several platforms that he believes he was rather sent to prison for protection from this mundane world.

Gemann is now fondly known as Bro. G’Love. He is now a pastor, teacher, an international evangelist, gospel artiste/songwriter, a Christian music producer with his own recording label, and a multi-media outfit – Christian Entertainment company (GODSBIZ).

Though the story of Geeman, if used for a movie, will be a didactic work of art, the question we at GhanaCelebrities.Com ask is, is it not belated? And has it not lost its ‘steam’ or exclusivity? Well, you may please share your thoughts. Until then…MOTWUM!!
