1. What was going through your mind during the arrest?
I was shock, cos I didn’t know why I was being arrested. I got a knock on my door this morning and when i opened it, two police officers stepped in… They asked me to follow them to the station… When I asked them why, they refused to comment… I was terrified but confident.
2. Why were you later released?
They let me go because it was a case of mistaken identity.
3. Why were you arrested?
I, Kang Quintus was not arrested. Terence – “the character” was the one that was arrested. Watch out for “EDGE”, Directed by Veteran Director Pascal Amanfo.
Apparently, the film maker is just trying to promote his new film with his Ghanaian friends. Sorry! You got punk’d
