Ghanaian comic actor and popular skit maker, Akabenezer, also known as Dr. Likee, has released a statement expressing his apologies for a recent altercation between himself, his team, and the security at Achimota Mall. Dr. Likee sincerely apologized to the mall’s management and supporters for the unfortunate incident.
The incident occurred when Dr. Likee and his team were denied permission to film at the mall. This led to a clash with the security personnel. Their frustration about being asked to leave the venue was evident in a video that circulated on social media. They asserted that the venue management permitted foreigners to film and take photos freely while imposing restrictions on them for shooting a movie at the same location.
During the confrontation, Dr. Likee even mentioned the example of American rapper Meek Mill, who visited Ghana for the Afrochella Concert and allegedly smoked and took photos at President Akufo-Addo’s office without seeking permission.
Dr. Likee’s statement reflects his regret for the incident. He also acknowledges the need for better understanding and communication between his team and the mall’s management. Despite the disagreement, he emphasizes the importance of professionalism and hopes to move forward positively.
This incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by artists. It also highlights the need for clear guidelines and equal treatment in accessing public spaces for creative endeavors. Dr. Likee’s apology and reflection aim to promote dialogue and resolution to prevent similar conflicts in the future.
