Wisa
Hiplife artiste Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa Greid, appears to be gearing up to defend himself in the matter before an Accra Circuit Court in which he has been accused of showing his manhood on stage while performing during a live show.
The ‘Ekiki Mi’ hitmaker was ordered by the court to open his defence at the next adjourned date after it annulled a submission of no case filed by his lawyer.
Wisa has now found a second witness who is willing to testify in the matter when the case reopens.
Appearing before the court on Monday, his lawyer, Jerry Avenorgbor, told the court that after the termination of their submission of no case, they have gone ahead to attain a second witness who is willing to testify in the trial.
He stated that the main evidence is with someone but the said person had travelled out of the country and would return in two weeks’ time and a couple of days later.
According to Mr Avenorgbor, the evidence is very vital to the determination of the matter and, therefore, prayed the court to adjourn the matter to a favourable date, by which time the witness would have returned to the country.
The presiding judge subsequently adjourned the matter to February 21, 2018.
Wisa is standing trial for allegedly showing his manhood during a live performance on December 24, 2015 during the ‘Decemba 2 Rememba’ concert at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
A video of the artiste stripping and rubbing his manhood against his female dancer on stage was put on social media, compelling his management to apologise for what is described as the artiste’s “rash and irresponsible behaviour”.
