The man was holding a rifle, which he later shot into the air in apparent excitement as Asake visited some neighbourhoods in Accra.
While raising the weapon, the man shouted enthusiastically: “My brother from another mother is here.”
He then made a direct appeal to authorities and officials, including President John Dramani Mahama, asking for leniency before he fired the gunshots to celebrate the Nigerian star’s presence.

Asake faces backlash over one-way driving
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigerian singer Asake faced backlash after a viral video showed him allegedly driving his luxury Maybach against traffic on a one-way road in Lagos around 3 a.m. on December 24.
The incident occurred hours before his concert at the Eko Convention Centre.
Locals shouted his name in excitement as the car passed the restricted route, but netizens criticised him for flouting rules he would obey in California, where he is based.
