Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese has revisited the June 2025 incident that led him to publicly accuse the Ghana Police Service of humiliating him during what he described as an unnecessary roadside search.
Speaking on Hitz FM, the hiplife artiste recounted being stopped by officers along Spintex Road under the guise of a “routine road check.” What seemed like a casual encounter, he said, turned into a 30-minute ordeal that drew public attention.
“They initially greeted me jovially and informed me they were having a routine search. I said ‘no problem.’
“They started searching, they searched every part of my car, my bags, even me. For over 30 minutes! Meanwhile other cars were passing by and were not being stopped,” he recalled.
The rapper said the experience left him disheartened and convinced that he had been unfairly singled out.
“There are good police officers. But the bad ones are tarnishing the image. I was frustrated. It felt like hatred. Like I was being singled out. So, I had to come online to complain about it,” he said.
Kwaw Kese noted that despite his criticism, he still recognizes that many officers uphold professionalism and treat citizens respectfully.
“These are some of the police officers putting a bad name on the service. I’ve also met other police officers who were good and nice to me,” he added.
