Movie actor Kwadwo Nkansah, also known as Lil Win, was arrested by police at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Manhyia Divisional Police Command shortly after he was discharged from hospital.
This follows a recent accident involving a vehicle he was driving, which tragically resulted in the death of a three-year-old boy.
The family of the deceased has been vocal in demanding justice for their loss.
The police cited his ill health as the reason for the delay in apprehending him.
He was picked up from the emergency unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital around 6:30 am.
The police have confirmed arrangements in place to put him before the court after taking his statement today, Monday, June 3.
The actor was spotted in a neck collar at the MTTD charge office writing his statement.
Although specific details regarding the accident and Lil Win’s involvement have not been disclosed by the police, he was taken into custody at the Manhyia Divisional Police Command of the MTTD as investigations into the incident continue.
The actor, with a bandage on his head, still went ahead to his movie premiere on the day of the accident.
His management later released a press statement updating Ghanaians about the accident, but the content of the statement has been widely criticised as insensitive to the bereaved family.
The police had been criticised for relaxing the rules of arrest due to Lil Win’s social status.
