Posted on by Peace Agyare

Eugene Ashie, best known as Wisa Greid has debunked rumors that Halifax Ansah Addo bailed him out.

On April 30th, the Accra circuit court found Wisa Gried guilty of showing his penis publicly to a crowd when he was performing at the 2015 edition of Citi Fm’s Decemba2Remeba, at a time when he had a major hit, titled ‘Ekiiki Mi’.

He was charged with gross indecency and was fined an amount of Ghc8,400. He was however to serve 24 months in prison should he fail to pay the amount.

It was later widely rumored and published that, Halifax had rescued Wisa from going to jail by paying Ghc10,000 for his fine.

Halifax Ansah Addo is the newly appointed Head of Communication for Zylofon Cash and Zylofon Events.

However, Wisa Gried in an Instagram post has stated that Halifax never paid for his bail.

He stated that his bail was paid by himself with the help of CEO of Black Avenue Muzik ‘D BLack’ and some friends at the Ghana Tourism Authority.

He further explained that Halifax happens to be a friend and called to offer his assistance. Adding that he never knew he(Halifax) even worked for Zylofon.

“I want to categorically state that my fine was paid by myself, CEO of Black Avenue Muzik ‘D BLack’ and our friends at the Ghana Tourism Authority who support the creative arts.

“Zylofon didn’t pay my fine nor did anyone from Zylofon. My friend Halifax called earlier today to offer assistance as a friend. I’m surprised to see stories flying about tagged Zylofon rescues me and pays my fine.

“I didn’t even know Halifax as [was] a staff of Zylofon. I knew him as a friend”, he added.

Earlier, Defence counsel led Ahiagble to testify before the court.

The defense witness also happens to be an artiste. He told the court that he and Wisa planned to have publicity stunt since they were new in the music industry. That was on December 24, 2016.

According to the defense witness the plan was that Wisa was going to pull out a fake manhood on stage.

Ahiagble, however, said he stood behind the stage. Hence he did not witness Wisa executing the said plan.

Defense witness said Wisa never displayed his manhood but a doodle.

This was an answer to a cross examination by Prosecution Chief Inspector Judith B. Asante.

The defense witness again mentioned that before Wisa’s incident, he had recorded a couple of songs. And same could be verified via the internet.

Defense witness admitted that he and Wisa planned to deceive the public with the fake manhood.

Ahiagble said he would be surprised to hear that Wisa displayed his manhood and not doodle.

When asked why Ahiagble did not accompany Wisa to the Police station he told the court that the Police did not invite him.

Background
