According to ASP Charles Appiah, Head of Drug Law Enforcement Unit, a police patrol team saw Kwaw smoking the cannabis on Saturday and arrested him. Kwaw Kese’s lawyer, Kwasi Baoitey, argued that the substance had not been confirmed to be cannabis and there was no justification to continue holding him.
He told the court that cigarettes can be mistaken for cannabis and until the substance was confirmed by a laboratory, the musician ought to be presumed to be innocent and therefore granted bail. ASP Appiah however says “We all know cannabis and he will not deny, he hasn’t denied,” the policeman said. Kwaw’s lawyer further argued that there was no justification to continue to detain him because he cannot interfere with any police investigations.
ASP Mohammed Tanko, Ashanti Regional Police PRO speaking on Dwaso Nsem on Adom FM earlier, said Kwaw Kese could face a minimum of 10 years’ imprisonment if found guilty.
