On Thursday, May 15, 2014, Nana Asiama Hanson (Bull Dog), manager of fast-rising Dancehall artiste, was arrested by the Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service. His arrest was in connection with the brutal murder of the late Emmanuel Fennec Okyere, who was the manger of Hiplife musician, Kwaw Kese.
Although many entertainment pundits did not understand why Bull Dog was arrested by the Police, the Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service came out to explain what caused Bull Dog’s arrest.
According to Mr Prosper Agblor, the Director General of the CID, Bull Dog, on several occasions threatened to kill late Fennec Okyere through various text messages he sent him, as well as in person. It all started at Joy FM’s ‘Night with the Stars’ which took place at the Accra International Conference Center in November, 2012.
It could be remembered that, Kwaw Kese (managed by late Fennec Okyere), stepped on a banner which had VIP inscribed on it whilst he was performing on the mounted stage. This, however, did not go down well with Bull Dog (manager of VIP as well). He therefore approached the late Fennec Okyere, for which Fennec explained why his artiste (Kwaw Kese) did what he did.
According to Mr Agblor, further investigations made known that Bull Dog became offended by some answers provided by the late Fennec Okyere when both of them were interviewed on Peace FM’s Entertainment Review. The investigation further revealed that, Bull Dog called the late Fennec Okyere on phone and threatened him to send his boys to do away with him.
This didn’t end there as the late Fennec Okyere received several phone calls and text messages from unknown numbers believed to be instruments of Bull Dog.
One person, who was instrumental in the late Fennec’s life, Madam Ursula Owusu, also has added her voice to this. According to the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, the arrest of Bull Dog could bring an end to Fennec’s death case. To her, the family is very happy that a suspect, who may have committed the murder, has being arrested.
