I wondered how the picture got leaked – Piesie Esther on Serwaa Amihere’s ‘arrest’

Gospel musician Piesie Esther and media personality Serwaa Amihere have opened up about their reactions when news broke that Serwaa had been arrested by the police.

On October 14, 2024, Blogger Nkonkonsa first shared a screenshot of a video depicting Serwaa in handcuffs while being escorted by police officers with a caption stating that the newscaster had been arrested.

The news quickly sparked reactions across social media until the Ghana Police Service came out with a statement that the story was false and the video was from a music video shoot for Piesie Esther.

In an interview on GhOne TV on October 18, 2024, the duo shed light on how the misinformation spread and their reactions to it.

Piesie Esther recounted her surprise upon hearing the news while she was on air at a radio station.

“By the time I came out of the studio, there were a lot of calls and messages. Then I started flipping out, ‘What is going on here?’” she said.

She was puzzled about how the picture ended up on a popular blog site. Concerned for her friend, Piesie Esther immediately called Serwaa Amihere to check on her.

Serwaa reassured her, saying, “Oh, sis, don’t worry. It’s nothing. Don’t worry. You calm down.”

When asked by the interviewer if she was bothered by the rumours of her arrest, Serwaa confidently said she wasn’t, stressing “Because I was not.”

The interviewer then inquired if Serwaa felt relieved when the Ghana Police Service issued a communiqué clarifying that she had not been arrested.

Serwaa humorously replied, “I didn’t know I was that important,” followed by a laugh.

Piesie Esther added that she wasn’t concerned about the misinformation, stating, “We knew what was in the post. We knew that it was just a video. So I wasn’t bothered about it.”
