The Police administration at the National level reportedly took notice of the viral video and ordered investigations. According to sources, IGP Dampare took a special interest in suspects who act with impunity and believe they are above the law.
Masib Bello run away into hiding after the attack following an official police interest in the matter. Several persons who shared the video online called for the arrest of the macho-man brother of Fancy Gadam.
He was later apprehended.
However, following repeated pleas and lobbying, the parties were invited to the respected Dakpema palace on 4th July after a report by the mother of the Musician and her family.
The family who were afraid their son could be remanded and possibly jailed after he run away from the police pleaded the matter be solved by the highly respected traditional leader.
The Fancy Gadam [Bello] family realizing and knowing their son could be remanded despite a police inquiry bail under IGP George Akuffo Dampare for assault and impunity, quickly pleaded for the case to be taken out of court.
Updating his followers, Mr. Tell wrote:
“I was invited to the Dakpema palace this afternoon Because fancy smoother and family took the mater [sic] to the Nyeb Dakpema to demand out-of-court settlement. I told Dakema to give me time to consult my people before anything. Meanwhile, the suspect has [sic] been arrested.”
In the end, the journalist was made to apologize to Fancy Gadam’s mother and their whole family for these defamatory remarks against the innocent woman while the macho-man family member Masib Bello also apologized for his youthful exuberance. The matter is currently being officially struck out of the police records with the blessing of the Dakpema Palace.
