CHRIS-VINCENT Writes: Ghana Police Should ARREST Musician-Wisa for Violating Section 278 of the Criminal Offences Act At Citi Fm’s Decemba2Rememba Concert

It’s revoltingly insane for a non-lunatic and in this case a paid musician-Wisa to mount a stage at a concert in Ghana, attended by thousands of decent people—and then intentionally pulling his manhood out for as long as he was on stage performing.

This without a doubt amounts to publicly and wilfully committing a grossly indecent act which is a criminal offence in Ghana—therefore, the Ghana Police should by now have arrested and charged Wisa who decided to publicly call Ghana a lawless country last night at Citi Fm’s December2Remember concert.

According to Section 278 of Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act; “[w]hoever publicly and wilfully commits any grossly indecent act is guilty of a misdemeanour.” And by misdemeanour, this is a non-serious crime (light crime) punishable by a shorter prison sentence of fine.

Considering the rise of overtly indecency and public violation of Ghana’s existing laws by our musicians, authorities need to make a robust statement and this is that perfect time. We’ve had the Kwaw Kese weed smoking precedent and though this Wisa’s case is a repugnant occurrence, it is somewhat a perfect time for the police to reiterate that concert stages in Ghana are not sovereign grounds.

Of course Wisa’s conduct on stage is gross, unacceptable and perhaps the most disturbing stage disorder we’ve seen in Ghana and it clearly puts concert organisers in the conversation too.
