A renowned legal practitioner has called on the Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong to investigate the alleged case of weed-smoking on stage involving American-based hip hop artiste, Chris Brown. Lawyer Atta Akyea, who was particularly worried about the use of marijuana, charged the Attorney General in an interview with Peacefmonline.com to look into the allegations and ensure that justice takes its course. According to him, every person is obliged to respect the laws of the land irrespective of his or her fame or national identity. Reacting to the stage craft by Chris Brown, also known in music circles as "Breezy", he bemoaned any conduct that seeks to promote the smoking of marijuana in the nation. He raised concerns about Chris Breezy�s demeanor on the eve of Independence day saying; �If you are a foreigner and we are saying that you shouldn�t be involved in sleeping with a lady who is under 15 years and that will be defilement. And you come and do that, would you say that because the person is a foreigner, he should come and commit defilement and walk away free of charge? He subjected himself to the jurisdiction of Ghana�� He continued in an interview with Peacefmonline.com that Chris Brown is not above the laws governing the nation and if the allegations turned out to be true, the Grammy award winner should be dealt with accordingly.
