Nigerian movie star Jim Iyke was involved in a brawl
yesterday, at the Crave Café at Adjiringanor, East
Legon in Accra.
According to an eyewitness account, some
people were eating at the café, at about 5pm
when a stout-looking gentleman in a black Range
Rover with a Nigerian number plate, came to the
café.
Jim Iyke also arrived about 20 minutes later in
his Sports Chevy with a Nigerian number plate,
and engaged the man in a heated argument over
$10,000 which later turned into a nasty brawl
on the street.
The eyewitness further explained that it became
difficult for those around to separate the two,
and at a point, Jim Iyke wanted to get into his
car to pull out something which was suspected
to be a gun, but he was prevented by those at
the café.
The other man left but returned shortly with two
policemen, one in mufti and other in uniform
who arrested Jim Iyke and took him away.
But the eyewitness told The Ghanaian Times
newspaper that barely 20 minutes later, the
actor resurfaced at the venue, which created the
impression the case had been 'settled' by the
two policemen.
The Legon Police Commander in a telephone
conversation, with The Ghanaian Times said, the
men he dispatched to the venue had information
of the scuffle, but those at the scene were
reluctant to give the police in-depth account of
what actually transpired, and so they were
unable to bring the two men to the police
station.
