Ghana�s celebrated movie star, Kofi Adu popularly known as Agya Koo has been accused of assaulting a Digital Video Disc (DVD) dealer at Bantama in Kumasi for selling near his (Agya Koo) shop. The movie dealer, Baba Seidu told The Weekend Moment the �container�, he uses as shop under the storey building where Agya Koo sells was sold to him by a friend, who used to sell DVDs at the same place but travelled to seek for greener pastures abroad. According to Baba, he went to see the manager of the storey building where Agya Koo�s shop is located, who convinced him to buy the �container� since the man selling the �container� is the son of the landlord. Narrating his ordeal, Baba said he was at his shop some weeks back when the actor came with some macho men threatening him to vacate the place since he also sells DVD and CDs where Baba�s container is located. Baba said, �So I asked him to discuss it with the landlord. Again, last week I was at the shop when he came to warn me that he has told me to vacate the place, so I wanted to show him documents that permit me sell here�. He continued, �as I was about to enter the �container� to bring the documents, he held my shirt and pulled me back saying who am I to talk back, when he is talking. Just then he pushed me so hard, had it not been the container I could have fallen and only God knows what might have happened. He kicked my abdomen, which had swollen so much I could hardly do anything. I was scared as he was assaulting me because he was there with his macho bodyguards.� Baba said he decided to inform the manager of the shops about Agya Koo�s actions though he was suffering from abdominal pains but on reaching the office Agya Koo had already gone there so on seeing him, his bodyguards started assaulting him. �He threatened that if I joke with him, he will sell me and family into slavery. The manager was around and saw all that was gong on, so he asked Agya Koo to see the landlord. He told the manager to shut up describing the manager�s feet as dirty since he walks from one place to the other and has never travelled abroad before�. He added. Baba said the matter has been reported toe the Sofoline police, who gave him medical forms to send to hospital. When contacted Agya Koo said he does not know any Baba Seidu and moreover, he was at the airport.
