Celebrities around the world are celebrated for what they do best, and regardless of their influence or popularity, they are not above the law.
Kwaw Kese
Times and seasons have proven that celebrities are like ordinary people and can be brought to justice if they go wrong.
Browngh.com has described several Ghanaian celebrities who have previously been detained.
Ghanaian musician Geeman and actor Jagger Pee were arrested after Geeman shot a taxi driver during a crack.
The main culprit Geeman was sentenced to death, while Jagger Pee was sentenced to life imprisonment for crime.
Given the popularity of the celebrities involved, the case became of great interest in the country.
Geeman
Jagger Pee appealed his sentence and served a shorter term while Geeman enjoyed a presidential pardon and was released in 2009.
Geeman has been an evangelist since his release from prison.
Goodies
Ghanaian music producer Isaac Abeokuta Aidoo aka Goodies was arrested at Kotoka International Airport on April 23, 2008 after trying to bring a substance that is believed to be cocaine (80 pellets) to the United States.
Goodies was 13 years in prison and was released in 2014 after 6 years in the Nsawam Prisons.
Goodies was one of the most effective, productive, and influential producers in the early 2000s.
He has produced songs for top artists such as Lord Kenya, Tic Tac, VIP, Sydney, Mzbel, Nana Kwame, 2Face and the Nigerian singer Tony Tetuila.

Ibrahim Sima (EXOPA)
EXOPA Modeling Agency chief executive officer Ibrahim Sima was arrested at Kotoka International Airport in September 2019 and carried a substance that is believed to bring weeds onto the plane.
