READ: Mzbel reveals details about the se xual assault on her by KNUST students



“When my crew and I were leaving the auditorium, some of the students came up to me, saying they wanted to take pictures with me. While we were at it, others came from nowhere to shake my hands,”
“Unfortunately, that exit was like a big window through which I had to jump. Just when I was about to jump, someone grabbed hold of my legs and within a twinkle of an eye, there were a whole mob of students pulling my legs.”
Her trousers and underpants were pulled down in the process and the mob taking advantage of her nakedness, inserted their fingers into her private region.
“They revealed everything by pulling my pants and trousers down to my knee”.
Preceding the ‘Out of Court Settlement’
Mzbel sued the university, claiming damages to the tune of ¢600 million (now GHC 60, 000).
The paperwork filed at an Accra High Court on Wednesday January 18, 2006, and led by her then manager and now ex-convict Isaac Abeidu Aidoo, a.k.a ‘Goodies’, had KNUST as first defendant: The Vice Chancellor as second defendants, and the college of Art as third defendant.
The fourth, fifth and sixth defendants were Alex Dapaah, Aaron Edusah Poku and Theodore Djokoto all students of the university at the time.
In a statement of claim, the plaintiffs said “that by a performance contract entered with them and an invitation by the 2nd defendant to perform and to enable them celebrate their Art Society week to be climaxed by a live musical performance, the 1st plaintiff, Mzbel amongst other musical artistes and performers were scheduled and invited to perform on the night of October 1, 2005 at the KNUST campus, Kumasi.
“The plaintiffs shall contend that the arrangement, safety and security of the venue and that of artistes before during and after the live performance, devolved absolutely on the 1st and 2nd defendants. By this invitation and performance contract executed, any failures or omissions on their part shall result in a vicarious liability to them.”
“The plaintiffs say that while the 1st plaintiff was performing live on stage reserved for the artistes, without any invitation, provocation and permission, a number of male students invaded the stage and in their frenzy without any provocation violently assaulted the 1st plaintiff which assault can best be described as se xual by all imagination.”
The statement of claim further said Dapaah, Poku and Djokoto inserted their fingers into her private part, and also indiscriminately fondled her brea st. She sustained bruises on her face and body, causing her excruciating pains, the statement added.
It has emerged that the University paid her GHc 50, 000 for the attack.
