Rapper Medikal has been remanded for five days in prison custody.

This was the conclusion reached by an Accra Circuit court on Friday, October 22, after he was arrested for brandishing a gun on social media.

The artiste, born Samuel Adu Frimpong, was charged with unlawful display of arms and ammunition to which he pleaded not guilty.

Section 7 of the Arms and Ammunitions Act stipulate that “No person shall, except in accordance with the terms of a permit granted under this Decree or with the written consent of the Inspector-General of Police, publicly display any arms or ammunition (including explosives) or discharge any firearm or other weapon in any public place.“

The rapper’s wife, Fala Makafui and some members of his management team were sighted at the court premises ahead of the sitting.

He was chauffeured away in a police pick-up truck amid a heavy security presence.

Medikal’s arrest on Thursday came just hours after his industry mate and friend, Shatta Wale, was remanded in police custody for two weeks.
