BULLDOG TRIAL ADJOURNED

The trial of Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson at an Accra Central Magistrate Court in connection with the murder of Fennec Okyere, manager of Kwaw Kese, who is popularly called Abodam, could not continue yesterday.

This was after the prosecuting officer in the case informed the court, presided over by Mavis Quainoo that the investigator was handling another murder trial and could, therefore, not make it to court.

According to him, the investigator would need at least a month to conclude his investigations.

He consequently prayed the court to adjourn the case for a month to enable the investigator prepare adequately.

The trial judge consequently adjourned the case to August 17, 2014.

The accused person was in court with his legal team, family and friends.

Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson, aka Bulldog manager of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, has been accused of murdering Fennec Okeyre.

Bulldog, 36, who also doubles as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bull Haus Entertainment, was picked up by the Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) recently in Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, as a prime suspect in Okyere’s death.

Bulldog has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

It would be recalled that last month; the court rejected a request from the prosecution for the accused person to provide a password to his mobile phone.

The trial judge rejected the request because the prosecution had not given any tangible reason to use a password.

Gary Nimako, counsel for Bulldog, opposed the move by the prosecution, insisting that the behaviour of prosecution was akin to embarking on a “fishing expedition.”

He said his client’s phone has not been mentioned in the matter before the court describing the attitude of the prosecutor as “witch hunting” rather than proper trial.

Counsel Nimako had argued that the charges leveled against his client could not hold because the prosecution had failed to link his client to Fennec’s murder.

An Accra High Court granted bail to Bulldog on May 27.

"I AM NOT STUPID", FUNNY FACE TELLS CHORKOR TROTRO PRODUCERS

Award-winning Actor/ Comedian, Funny face has confirmed rumor making rounds that he is out from the TV series that brought him to the limelight; Chorkor Trotro aired on TV3.

In a phone interview with Christian Adjei Frimpong host of 205 Total Entertainment on Channel R 92.7fm last week, the actor confirmed leaving the series but he asked to be allowed some two months to comment fully on the issue since he has been silent on the case for the past six months.

“This issue popped up for the past six months but because I have not made any comment, they are still using my image deceiving people that I am still with them," Funny Face lamented.

Adding that it is shocking, but his philosophy in life is simple because he believes all the wealth one can gain will not take him or her to heaven hence the calm approach to the issue and not that he is stupid or is afraid to react.

The comedian also lamented that the series has taken a lot out of him because lots of chances came his way, but he couldn't grab them all because of Chorkor Trotro, but he didn't complain because it is the series that made the other avenues came his way.

Summing up, the award-winning Actor/Comedian said fans should get ready for his upcoming project that will blow the mind of Ghana, Africa and the world, and it will be on our television screens soon.

I DON’T SEE THE POINT IN GETTING MARRIED AGAIN - KOFI ADJORLOLO

After two failed marriages, popular actor, Kofi Adjorlolo does not see himself becomimg a husband ever again. “I don’t see the point in getting married again. I know I tried my best to make my marriages work but I guess it is not everyone who is born to have a successful marriage” he told Showbiz in an interview on Monday.

Although he did not give reasons for his marriage failures, the 58-year old actor said he went through difficulties during his marriage days and now that he is single, nothing will make him go back to tie another knot.

Kofi Adjorlolo who has featured in a countless number of movies said his primary focus is on his movie career which has made him who he is today and not on any woman who may distract him.

“I have two children who I am proud of, and who are also proud of their father and the last thing I would allow is for any woman to give me troubles. I always say to myself that, it is better to remain single than to be married with troubles. I know some people will disagree with me but I have tried it and I know what I’m talking about.

“God knows why I am single now. Maybe I wouldn’t have achieved the successes that I have now. I have been single for many years and I used to get worried but not anymore ” he said.

Asked if he would marry should he find his soul mate who is willing to sacrifice everything for him, Kofi Adjorlolo said no woman can convince him to marry again after what he went through. “I don’t believe any woman can convince me to marry again because it will not be worth it.

Reacting to comments that have connected him with model Afi Antonio, Kofi Adjorlolo said there was nothing between them “I was very surprised when the rumour broke that I was getting married to the lady because she was only a friend whom I met on a movie set.

On his movie career, Kofi Adjorlolo said he was happy the Akan producers had trust in him and featured him in their movies although he is not that fluent in the Akan language.

After working with Nigerian and Ghanaian actors, Kofi Adjorlolo’s aim now is to do Hollywood movies. “I think it is about time I stepped into Hollywood and play alongside well known names such as Denzel Washington, Mel Gibson and Angelina Jolie”

Born to Mr Johnny Adjorlolo and Madam Matilda Johnson, Kofi Adjorlolo hails from Keta in the Volta Region where he had his early education at AME Zion School. He then went to Keta Secondary School and later, Ebenezer Secondary School then GBC Radio Training School.

Before becoming an actor, Kofi was a professional musician who played with a number of bands including that of Nigeria's Victor Uwaifo of “Joromi” fame.

Sarkodie just released a mixtape he recorded at Possi Gee’s studio titled “Free Press”.

In the song, Obidi expressed his dissatisfaction about how Ghanaian journalists use their platforms to talk ill of Ghanaian artistes including himself but raise Nigerians and other foreign musicians high.

Repeating what he told Hiplife grand papa Reggie Rockstone in the song which made the Hiplife originator suggest that Sarkodie deserves a statue, Obidi said the media do not follow him when he travels to Los Angeles for BET award but they tweet to talk against him.

Comparing the Ghanaian media to that of Nigerians, he said they follow their artistes to BET to boost their morale to work harder.

“If you cannot help, please leave us a lone. Support our own. Fuse ODG, R2bees and myself are trying hard and we need your support. Stop talking like fans,” Sarkodie told Ghanaian journalists in his new mixtape “Free Press”.

Angry Sarkodie further advised journalists in Ghana to work harder to also get the chance of being on international media houses.

ACTOR EDDIE WATSON CRIES FOR EBOLA VICTIMS

Actor and entrepreneur, Eddie Watson is calling on all and sundry to help fight for individuals affected with the deadly disease, Ebola.

According to the Liberian born Ghanaian actor who is preparing to release his first self-produced movie, “Jack and Jill”, an urgent action to help cure these hopeless victims in African needs to be taken now.

Ebola victims taken out of Africa to the U.S & Europe have been treated and have recovered. It is clear that our West African governments lack the capacity to tackle this disease. We need urgent actions to help the people of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and other places in West Africa now affected by this deadly virus.

Please, countries of the West and your big organizations, don’t treat this deadly disease like you treat civil wars in Africa. Please think about how quick this disease takes lives. I’m calling on all concerned citizens of Africa to join me demand help from the people we know have the capacity to help us! God bless us all!
