Socrates Safo in New York

Socrates Safo arrested in New York
Controversial Ghanaian movie producer, Socrates
Safo is in police grips in New York for stripping
stark naked in a public, says information reaching
the News One newspaper.

Socrates is reported to have armed himself with a
bottle of Russian Vodka at midnight, removed all
his cloths and with his balls dangling between his
legs, he performed ‘juju’ at the entrance of a
video and cassette shop at Harlem in New York. His
actions were however captured by CCTV security
cameras and he found himself in police grip a few
hours later. Reports said on Monday, Socrates was
arraigned at a New York Court over the matter. He
was reportedly found guilty and slapped with a
fine but when News One reached him over the
matter, his explanation was rather interesting.
“Yes I was in court on Monday but it was not
because I was naked in town or something.

I was a prosecution witness but my presence in
court had to do with the reasons for which I
stripped naked,” Socrates explained in a rather
confusing manner. Socrates Safo was said to have
spearheaded an anti-piracy demonstration on the
streets of New York with the support of the
African Distributors Association.

The demonstration, reports said, nearly turned
bloody when one of the owners of the shops selling
pirated DVDs and VCDs pulled a gun on one of the
demonstrators for attempting to seize the pirated
products. News one sources said Socrates then
threatened to invoke curses on the guy who pulled
the gun and this generated into fisticuffs but
they were separated.

He reportedly returned to the shop at midnight
with a bottle of Vodka with which he poured
libation at the threshold of the shop, after which
he stripped naked and invoked curses on the shop
owner.
