Osita Iheme Aka Pawpaw Arrested In Kumasi, Ghana

Hehehe...every country cannot be like Nigeria where everything goes for free.
31-year-old Osita Iheme, was arrested while on a movie set in Kumasi on Thursday because he did not have any work permits in Ghana.
According to reports,law enforcement agents dressed in mufti in the company of officials of the Ghana Actors Guild (GAG) and the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG), walked into the set and accosted Pawpaw for working in Ghana without a work permit.

The production has also been put on hold until the Nigerian actor gets the necessary work permit. Public Relations Officer for FIPAG, Michael Kwaku Ola, however, explained to NEWS-ONE that there is an agreement among the movie industry players that any foreign film maker wanting to work in Ghana must first get an official work permit from the Ghana Actors Guild and a permit from FIPAG.
He said the arrangement was aimed at protecting Ghanaian film makers from the influx of foreign nationals to the movie industry. It was also reported that he was later released.
