Ghanaian popular rapper Ayigbe Edem Granted GH¢50k Bail For Knocking Down An Unknown to death
Ghanaian rapper Ayigbe Edem has found himself entangled in a tragic incident, being granted GH¢50,000 bail by the Kaneshie District Court for a fatal accident in which he allegedly struck and killed a woman. The unfortunate event unfolded in the early hours of Sunday, December 10, 2023, on the George Walker Bush Highway around 2 am. According to reports, Edem was behind the wheel of an unregistered Honda Touring car when the accident occurred.
Following the incident, Ayigbe Edem faced legal proceedings as he was arraigned before the Kaneshie District Court on Monday morning, December 12, 2023. The court documents reveal that the identity of the deceased woman remains unknown at this time, adding a layer of tragedy to the already somber situation. Ayigbe Edem, during the court appearance, was charged with two counts of careless and inconsiderate driving, as well as negligence causing harm.
Nana Abena Asor Owusu Amenyo presided over the court proceedings, overseeing the case. Notably, Edem's plea was not considered during this appearance, leading to the court granting him bail set at GH¢50,000. The bail conditions also stipulate the need for two sureties. Ayigbe Edem is mandated to reappear in court on February 15, 2024, to address the charges against him.
The context of the accident reveals that it took place as the rapper was returning from his involvement in the Saturday, December 9, 2023, episode of UTV's United Showbiz with MzGee. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain a matter of investigation, and the details of the lady who lost her life have yet to be disclosed by authorities.
In a separate development, Edem found himself in the midst of controversy related to a press statement released by Shatta Wale's team. The statement addressed the cancellation of Shatta Wale's concert in Wolverhampton. Edem took to Twitter to express his opinions, specifically targeting Shatta Wale's manager, Sammy Baah Flex. In his tweet, Edem asserted that the press release issued by Baah Flex was causing more harm than good.
The cancellation of Shatta Wale's show was officially announced on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. The reason cited was the inability of the promoter to meet Shatta Wale's opulent demands. This incident added another layer of scrutiny and public attention to Edem's interactions on social media, amidst the ongoing legal proceedings stemming from the tragic accident.
As the details continue to unfold and the legal process progresses, Ayigbe Edem finds himself at the intersection of personal tragedy and public scrutiny, navigating the consequences of both the fatal accident and his outspoken stance on the controversies surrounding fellow artists. The upcoming court appearance on February 15, 2024, will likely serve as a pivotal moment in determining the trajectory of his legal standing and public perception.
