Music star Samuel Adu Frimpong, aka Medikal has been convicted for brandishing a gun in public.

He has been fined GH¢3,600 by an Accra Circuit Court and iIn default, he will serve nine months in prison.

The musician changed his plea in court and pleaded guilty to the charge on Monday morning.

Medikal was subsequently convicted on his own plea by the court presided over by Mr Emmanuel Essandoh.

He had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The court was expected to rule on an application filed by Medikal’s lawyers to order the police to release the Ruger nine-millimetre pistol belonging to the musician.

However, when the case was called Monday morning the musician told the court he wanted to change his plea. The charges were read out to him and he pleaded guilty to the charges.

Shortly after the case was recalled, Counsel for Medikal, Mr Emmanuel Yeboah Gyan who held Bobby Banson’s brief withdrew their services to the musician.
