According to a News One report, popular reggae musician and President of the Music Council of Ghana, Lester Ekow Micah, was arrested on Tuesday evening August 4 2015 over trending ‘Asamoah Gyan Sextape’.
A police source said Ekow was arrested to help the police in ongoing investigations into a blackmail and extortion complaint filed by Asamoah Gyan’s manager Samuel Anim Addo against Osarfo Anthony, a journalist alleged to have demanded an amount of GH¢25,000 from the Gyan camp so he would prevent further negative publications on the Black Stars captain.
“We have some evidence which suggest that Ekow Micah conspired with Osarfo Anthony and others and he has some serious explanations to do. Police is likely to send him to court this week,” a source at the station told News One.
Two other accomplices are said to be on a police wanted list and have refused to honour police invitation. Asamoah Gyan’s alleged sexual encounter was said to have been captured on video and Osarfo had threatened to unleash it in the public domain if the money was not handed to him.

The extortion process was also secretly recorded on video the night Osarfo Anthony received the cash from Asamoah Gyan’s Manager, Samuel Anim Addo. Osarfo had, however, been granted a police inquiry bail while investigations continued.
The suspect is reported to have collected various sums of money including GHȻ 5,000, $1,000 and a cheque with a face value of GHȻ15,000 as part of the payments.
