Just after news broke in the media that Nigeria's
celebrated movie star, Jim Iyke, was involved in
a brawl at the Crave Cafe at Adjiringanor, East
Legon, Accra, Nigeriafilms.Com made an effort
to investigate the story to find out the details of
what actually happened at the said place
involving the movie star.
Speaking to one Nana Kwesi who invited Jim Iyke
to the Cahaya lounge where the incident
happened, he told Nigeriafilms.com,
Correspondent in Ghana Mustapha Ayinde
Inusah, "how funny people twist and turn stories
around."
He added that all the details given in the
publication about Jim Iyke fighting over $ 10,
000 was fabricated.
"There was an issue between Jim Iyke and his
business partner (name not disclosed to us) at
the Cahaya Lounge just opposite ex-President J.
J. Rawlings house and not Crave Café as the
media reported it. The issue had nothing to do
with Jim Ike fighting over $ 10,000. Also, Jim
Iyke never attempted to pull a gun," Nana Kwesi
revealed.
Nana said he invited Jim Iyke to Cahaya Lounge
to discuss a water treatment project with him –
clean water and chemical treatment of water.
When Jim Iyke got to Cahaya Lounge with his car
and parked, another car drove in and parked
just behind Jim Ike's car.
He continued that after the gentleman parked,
he got out and started behaving funny. The
gentleman wanted to attack Jim Iyke so he Nana
intervened and prevented the man from
attacking Jim.
The man went back to his car and pulled an
amount of $ 10,000, haranguing that he wanted
to give it to Jim Iyke if the latter had signed a
particular document.
Perplexed Nana Kwesi inquired what the real
issue is and why the man said that he wanted to
give Jim Iyke $ 10,000 if he Jim had signed a
document. The man, who alleged that he is a
business partner to Jim Iyke, said he invited Jim
Iyke into a meeting at Royal Fiesta hotel.
Jim Iyke got there and he was asked to sign a
contract but because the contract was not too
clear, Jim requested that there is a need to
involve a lawyer or legal brain to peruse the
document before he could append his signature
on it.
Because of that, the man got fumed, accusing
Jim Iyke of wasting his time and also spoiling his
business because there were other people
involved who wanted Jim to sign so they can
carry on with the business.
After everything was settled at the Lounge, the
man reported to the police that Jim Ike had
attacked him. When the police got to the scene,
the people around who was also hob-nobing and
were eye witnesses to what ensued, narrated to
the police that it is the man who rather attacked
Jim Iyke and not the converse. The police left
without causing any arrest.
All attempts by NigeriaFilms.com to get the
name as well as the other side of the story (the
man), proved otiose as at the time of making
this publication. We promise to follow up on
this story so stick and stay with us.
