The sentence was handed down by Justice Sedina Agbemava after Nhyiraba Kojo failed to comply with an interlocutory injunction order to stop noise pollution from his nightclub and install soundproofing, citifmonline.com reports.
The case was filed by three residents of Fijai, Edmund Sampana Dienorng, Nicholas Imbeah, and Samuel Kofi Dzukey, who complained about the noise emanating from the nightclub.
Counsel for the petitioners, Pamela Arvoh-Mensah of Owusu Ankomah Arvoh Mensah, Dzigba and Associates, confirmed the court’s decision and explained that Nhyiraba Kojo could purge himself of the contempt and avoid serving the full 30-day sentence according to citinewsroom.com report.
Nhyiraba Kojo is known for his popular Hip Life songs and is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry in Ghana. His NK City Nightclub is located at Fijai-Takoradi in the Western Region.
