I guess we’ve all learnt our lesson now.
(JOY NEWS ) – Nana Asiama Hanson (Bulldog),
manager of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale who
is standing trial for allegedly murdering Fennec
Okyere, a music producer has been granted
bail Tuesday.
Bulldog, who is also the CEO of Bull Haus
Entertainment, was picked up by police on May
15 in Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, as a
prime suspect in the death of Fennec Okyere
who was murdered at his residence on March
13 by unknown assailants. The deceased was
the manager of hiplife artiste, Kwaw Kesse.
ASP Joseph Benefoh Darkwa, the Public
Relations Officer of the Police CID, had told Joy
News Bulldog had sent threatening messages to
Fennec prior to his death.
Bulldog made his first appearance in court on
Monday, May 19 and was remanded into police
custody to appear in court on June 2.
The prosecution asked permission to remand
the suspect to enable the police continue with
their investigations. According to the
prosecution, his detention would go a long way
to assist the police’s investigations due to the
sensitive nature of the case.
But lawyer for Bulldog, Gary Nimako objected
to calls for his client to be remanded in police
custody.
He had argued that the charges leveled against
his client – conspiracy to commit murder and
committing murder – cannot hold because the
prosecution has not been able to link his client
to Fennec’s murder.
Lawyer for Bulldog confirmed to
Myjoyonline.com that his client has been
granted bail: “He (Bulldog) has been granted
bail.”
