On January 30, 2026, officers of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service stormed the private residence of Ghanaian musician and social media personality, Sam Kwabena Safo Jnr, popularly known as Showboy.
Videos from the encounter showed officers in a heated back-and-forth exchange with the musician, who was on TikTok Live and streaming the incident to his followers.
The officers attempted to arrest him, but the controversial personality insisted that he would not leave with them without a warrant.
Reports later emerged that Showboy had escaped from police custody, but he came out to deny those reports.
He said he was never arrested because the officers could not produce a warrant confirming that a judge had signed off on his detainment, so he simply left them at his home.
Showboy arraigned before Adentan Circuit court
On Tuesday, February 3, 2026, footage emerged that showed Showboy in custody after officers finally arrested him.
In the video, the musician claimed to be a mentally unstable individual and requested a psychiatrist for treatment.
He continued engaging in unusual behaviour, which appeared to irritate the police officer he was dealing with.
The musician was later spotted in psychiatric care for an evaluation before appearing at the Adentan Circuit Court on February 6.
He was remanded into police custody, and the case was adjourned to February 12.
Showboy faced charges of alleged blackmail and defamation against Ghanaian music executive and businessman, Davido GH.
Below is a Twitter video of Showboy in police custody at the Adentan Circuit Court.
