After spending some time in the bosom of the Ghana Police Service in Kumasi last year, Ghanaian hiplife artiste, Emmanuel Botchwey popularly known as Kwaw Kese, has assigned himself as a volunteer ambassador kicking against the usage of illegal drugs.

Kwaw Kese, who was arrested for smoking cannabis in at popular a spot in Kumasi in December 2014, has cautioned the youth of Ghana on the health  implications of using illicit drugs.

“One year on, God has been good to me, I have graduated from a kid to a man and want to urge the youth to stay away from drugs,” he said in an interview with Dr Pounds on the Hitz Gallery on Hitz FM.

“There are different drugs the youth have indulged in these days like cocaine, codeine, weed etc. which affect them health wise.

“So I always tell my brothers that kontomire (spinach) is green, one can only prepare stew with it and avoid problems with the law but do drugs and then end up with the police,” he added.

The ‘Man Insane’ was sentenced to one day in prison and a fine of GHC 1200 after he was found guilty of smoking cannabis in public, on 23rd April 2015.
