Medikal Pleads With Court To Order Ghana Police To Release His Gun 

The lawyer for Ghanaian rapper Samuel Frimpong, better known as Medikal, appeared in court yesterday to defend him against the accusation of exhibiting a handgun on social media.

According to a report by Pulse Ghana, at the court hearing today, Tuesday, January 25, 2022, counsel for the Ghanaian rapper, Alice Nimako Debrah Ablormeti, urged the court to give an order to the police for the release of the pistol to him.

She told the court that the accused and his legal team had not been provided with the processes and disclosures necessary to mount a competent defense while holding a brief for the substantive counsel.

In response, the State Prosecutor, Chief Inspector Dennis Terkpetey, asked the court for an extension of time to submit procedures, disclosures, and witness testimonies, as well as serve them on the accused.

His Honour Emmanuel Essandoh, who presided over the hearing, approved the prosecution’s plea for an extension of time to submit their procedures.

His Honour Emmanuel Essandoh requested that the rapper’s attorneys prepare a formal application for the weapon’s release.

As a result, the case has been rescheduled for February 15, 2022. In September 2021, while driving in his automobile, he showed a Ruger 9mm handgun without justification. His arrest was made when the video became viral.
