Nhyiraba Kojo, a well-known HipLife musician and the owner of the popular NK City Nightclub located in Fijai-Takoradi, has been sentenced to 30 days in prison by a Sekondi Commercial High Court.
The court found him guilty of contempt in a case that was filed by three residents of Fijai over the excessive noise coming from his nightclub.
The sentencing was delivered by Justice Sedina Agbemava who presided over the case. Nhyiraba Kojo was found to have disobeyed an interlocutory injunction order issued by the court which required him to stop the noise emanating from his nightclub, install soundproof equipment, and submit a report to the court. His failure to comply with the court order resulted in his imprisonment.
