Ghanaian Police Drop Murder Charges Against Barry Jhay

Nigerian singer Barry Jhay who was recently arrested in connection to the death of his label boss Karshy Gordon, has been cleared of the murder charges by the Ghanaian police.

Barry Jhay makes his first official statement since the incident. He wrote:

Good day everyone,

These past few days have been drastically life changing for me with resounding frame of reflections. What was meant to be a vacation with my friend/brother turned into a tragic nightmare I almost didn’t wake up from.
What I went through I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy but I still thank God for his grace upon my life and for also reminding me that there is a thin line between life and death and we’re not going to be here forever.

I lost a dear friend, I almost lost my life and my freedom for something I had no hand in. I know I owe my fans my own side of the story and same is contained in the attached reports.

I want to thank the entire Ghana police force for their professionalism and diligence . The hurtful comments,assumptions and allegations made against me was nothing compared to having to mourn the tragic death of my friend and at the same time been accused of been involved in his death. But for the enormous support from my friends, family and even strangers who supported me without prejudice and proclaimed my innocence were the ones who gave me hope, oh my Ghanaian brother’s and sisters! This is my first visit to an amazing country filled with lovely people I have gotten the biggest support from. To my family!! I can’t thank you enough! my legal team (Tope Salami and Jerry), Lewis, Martin, Olu, ike, my Aunty Tosin , the list long o!!!

Thank you everyone!!! Tell them Barry Back!!

According to a report of an investigation carried out by the Ghanaian police, Barry was attacked by Kashy shortly after the record label boss’ girlfriend rushed into where he was recording a song to report that Karshy was behaving abnormally.

The police report disclosed that Karshy jumped down from the 4th floor of the hotel they lodged in, 12 minutes after Barry who he reportedly attacked with a knife has fled the scene. It was further learned that an eyewitness and CCTV footage corroborated the claim.
