Daasebre GyamenaLong before Daasebre Ahoofe Dwamena’s arrival at the Kotoka International Airport last Tuesday night, after his release from Iseworth Crown Court in London where he had been standing trial and put on a hectic legal tight rope in an alleged drug case, a mammoth crowd of expectant and hilarious well wishers, sympa-thisers and music fans had trooped there to catch a glimpse of their idol.

So hectic and almost uncontrollable was the crowd that, it became necessary to work out a way for him to vamoose out of sight after a short-lived informal briefing with the media, mostly those of the electronic sector, specifically presenters.

Fortunately between 9.45 p.m. and 10.20 p.m., Daasebre and his entourage in a four wheel drive car approached the precinct of his father’s home near the Express Funds building behind Joy FM Station at Kokomlemle, Accra.

Already waiting in the house, were equally excited well wishers, sympa-thisers and fans who had gathered, awaiting his arrival. His father Opanyin Kwabena Dwira who had long been waiting for his son’s arrival almost burst into tears when he embraced his son whilst the crowd went haywire and in a mood of ecstasy gave Daasebre a hero’s welcome.

Daasebre was quickly whisked away accompanied by his wife Deborah into the hall of his father’s flat meanwhile the crowd chanted and sang victorious songs and vowed not to leave the premises.

Arrangement was accordingly made to that effect and Dwamena stood on a raised form and thanked all those assembled in the premises.

Speaking to the Spectator, Daasebre Ahoofe Dwamena said his release was an act of God through the prayers of well wishers. He said conscientiously he knew he had done nothing wrong that should warrant such unfortunate and messy situation that he found himself.

To a question, he said at the appropriate time, he would work out on his musical programmes and agenda to come out with something worthwhile.

In a separate interview with his father, Opanyim Kwabena Gwira, he said in an Akan proverb that when you drive a good hen, there is always a bad one following suit.

Literally meaning that in life you never know who is an enemy or friend, and on this note he thanked all who had shown concern on his son’s behalf since he went through that agony.
