Accra, July 13, GNA - An Accra Circuit Court hearing the case involving Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa, an artiste accused of displaying his penis on stage, has adjourned the case to August 3.

The court adjourned the case because the accused person and his counsel were absent when the case was called.

Wisa, of the 'Ekikimi' fame, is being held for allegedly exposing his penis while performing at the Accra International Conference Centre on December 24, last year.

He has, however, denied a charge of gross indecent exposure and is on a GH₵ 8,000 bail with one surety.

The Prosecutor said on December 25, the Accra Regional Police was alerted over a nude video posted on the internet from an unknown source, in which a popular Ghanaian artiste identified as Eugene Ashe, aka Wisa Creg, intentionally exposed his penis while performing live on stage.

Detective Inspector Judith B. Asante, the prosecutor, said the Police contacted the managers of Ashe to produce him at the Regional Police Headquarters for investigations and they did.

The prosecution said investigations into the matter disclosed that on December 24, Airtel Communications Company and Citifm, an Accra based radio station, organised an event dubbed: 'December to Remember,' which included the accused as a guest artiste.

During the course of the show, the accused, while dancing with a female dancer identified as Monica Kumadeh, suddenly removed his penis out of his pair of jeans and began to caress the buttocks of the dancer.
